Mistakes are anathema to Rupp, even when his boys are hitting 72% of their shots-as they were at halftime against L.S.U. last week. "Goddam it. Get up on the boards!" he shouted. "Goddam it. Go!" Even when the game was over and Kentucky had won by 26 points, the Baron was not satisfied. "We've got to go back to work on our defense," he muttered, studying a list of twelve mistakes committed by his Wildcats...
...open-spirited tone of Pope John's encyclical Pacem in Terris, Paul VI last year set up a Vatican Secretariat for Nonbelievers to organize a dialogue with atheists, including Communists. Now, Marxist Roger Garaudy, the leading theoretician of the French Communist party, has written a book called From Anathema to Dialogue to "answer in a fraternal manner the appeal addressed to all" by Roman Catholicism. Praising it in the conservative Paris daily Le Figaro, French Novelist François Mauriac urged his fellow Catholics to "buy this book by a Communist" and read it.

The rebels countered with a threat to excommunicate any bishop who agreed to serve on the government-appointed synod, to cast an anathema on the government, to close every church in Greece and order priests not to perform marriages and christenings...
...Administration, determined to honor a campaign debt to organized labor, was unconditionally committed to repeal of the Taft-Hartley "right to work" clause, anathema to labor because it allows individual states to outlaw the union shop. Nevertheless, Dirksen's filibuster, powered by a hard-core coalition of some 38 Republicans and southern Democrats, seemed insurmountable, for the Administration could not possibly muster the two-thirds majority (67 votes) to invoke cloture. So, unable to stop the show and concerned that it might prove too arduous for elderly Senators, Majority Leader Mike Mansfield ruled out the seriocomic...
