...bathing suit [July 27]: Can anything be more apparent from this episode than that the Roman Catholic hierarchy is using any and every means to control our public life? Pretty soon we won't be able to do anything much in a public way without the permission of Archbishop...
...skillfully elusive commander of the Greek Cypriot underground during four years of bloody strife with the British, Colonel George Grivas was content to let exiled Archbishop Makarios and Greece's Premier Constantine Karamanlis do the political talking. When peace came, the 61-year-old soldier returned to Athens for a hero's welcome, promotion to lieutenant general, a lifetime pension of $300 a month, and a well-earned rest. But it was not long before peace and quiet began to seem to the old soldier to be neglect. The only people who sought him out in his suburban...
Nonetheless, Grivas was tempted. He began talking about making Greece a respected power, no longer "a corpse on which everyone is committing rape." He spoke mysteriously of wanting "a dozen butcher hooks to hang a dozen capitalists." He grumbled that Archbishop Makarios was not consulting him about events in Cyprus.

The problem now exists in Greece." So far, however, the bitter Grivas does not seem to have captured...
Metal Badge. Amazed by the tunic's power to draw pilgrims, Pope Leo X and the Archbishop of Trier agreed to display it every seven years. Although wars, revolutions and the Reformation stopped its regular appearance, Tunica Domini never lost its appeal. In 1810 about 250,000 pilgrims went to see it, and at the last showing, in 1933, the tally was 2,000,000. Since Cologne's Joseph Cardinal Frings unveiled the tunic for the 1959 pilgrimage last month, almost a million Roman Catholics have visited the cathedral...
