...number has always consumed considerable time and energy. Most coveted are the tags from 1 to 1250. No. 1 belongs to the president of the board of District of Columbia commissioners (which issues all D.C. licenses). Chief Justice Earl Warren has 10, Drew Pearson 25, Roman Catholic Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle 37, Attorney General Robert Kennedy 50.

Particularly antagonistic is the big Russian church, to which more than a third of the world's Orthodox Christians belong. Orthodoxy in Greece has mixed feelings about the Patriarch. Rome-hating Archbishop Chrysostomos of Athens deplored Athenagoras' Holy Land visit as "hasty." But many laymen and lower clergy admire the Patriarch and condemn the in transigence of Greece's Holy Synod...
...precedent-shattering move, Pope Paul VI jets to Kennedy International Airport in order to open the Vatican Pavilion, but when his limousine is delayed in traffic, Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, presides in his stead. Richard Nixon, pausing to chat with reporters at the opening of the Nixon Pavilion, hints that his personal advisory staff is drafting a final report...
