Cyprus remains a powder keg surrounded by careless smokers. Chief among them is bearded, baffling Archbishop Makarios, President of Cyprus, whose attempt to overrun the Turkish Cypriot beachhead at Kokkina brought swift retaliation from Turkey in the form of jet fighters. What Makarios could not win by force, he now tried to gain by blockade. Bowing to the ceasefire order of the U.N. Security Council, Makarios fixed a grip of iron around the 80 villages and the fortified quarters of the cities that house the 100,000 people of the Turkish Cypriot minority...
...Angeles last June, a young parish priest called for the removal of his archbishop-criticizing "the church of silence" autocratically ruled by James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre-and got strong support from a few Catholic lay organizations. The Catholic monthly Jubilee has published dozens of letters by priests and laymen asking for a re-examination of the church's stand on birth control. Nuns and priests are no longer strangers to civil rights picket lines. With the approval of Oklahoma's bishop, two Catholic parishes have joined Tulsa's previously all-Protestant Council of Churches.

Taking Heaven by Storm. Ordained in 1921, Cushing spent his first eleven months as a parish priest. Then he had an interview with his archbishop, princely old William Cardinal O'Connell.* Brashly declaring that he wanted to "take heaven by storm," Cushing asked to be sent to the foreign missions.

Cushing handled his job with such zeal that O'Connell made him an auxiliary bishop in 1939 to succeed Francis Spellman, who had been named Archbishop of New York. When O'Connell died in April 1944, Cushing was made temporary administrator of the archdiocese, and later that year he was formally installed as archbishop, thanks in large part to the intervention of Spellman. Friends then and now, Cushing and Spellman went through a long decade of cool relations. "The difference was to a large degree temperamental-the difference between a roughie [Cushing] and a smoothie," explains one veteran...
There could be no doubt that the man largely responsible for the deterioration was Archbishop Makarios, who had rejected reasonable U.S. proposals for settlement and boasted that "we will accept no compromise solution, no swapping of islands, no federation in Cyprus, no Turkish Cypriot 'cantonments.' ' In short, he demanded that the Turkish Cypriots lay down their arms and accede to majority rule by the Greek Cypriots. One Cypriot newspaper voiced the Greek mood by stating, "There must be an end to the drama." The only question, at week's end, was how bloody...
