...Cyprus-which will unfortunately be known as U.N.F.I.C.Y.P.-and it landed in Nicosia far ahead of contingents also due from Brazil, Sweden, Ireland, Austria and Finland. There was reason to hurry, because it almost seemed as if the island's 500,000 Greeks and the government of Archbishop Makarios were trying to subdue the 100,000 Turkish minority before the U.N. takes control...
...Business? Cincinnati's Archbishop Alter says that three-fourths of all Catholic children in the arch diocese already attend kindergarten in public schools, and "adding one more year to their presence in the public schools will not interfere too seriously with their religious training." And a new book, by a Catholic mother of five boys who have variously gone to public and Catholic schools, suggests that the church should go out of the school business altogether.

Then the easy-living courtier becomes archbishop, and fate summons him to uphold "the honor of God." But does he die to defend canon law, made great by the great office thrust upon him, or is he merely a self-appointed martyr in search of his Cain? Given a mass of ambiguities to project, Burton projects them remarkably well. He daringly meets the competition offered by O'Toole with...
