There were plenty of scene-stealers -bearded Archbishop Makarios of Cyprus, for instance, in his floor-length black robes-but the superstars were obviously Ford and Brezhnev. Before the signing took place, there were nearly three days of speeches by the heads of the 35 delegations; both Ford and Brezhnev sat through the entire parade of rhetoric. As the first session opened, Ford settled down in his seat, lit his pipe and adjusted the earphones that brought simultaneous translation. Brezhnev sipped a glass of tea at his work desk, fiddling from time to time with the new dentures that...
...came from all over war-divided Cyprus and stood for hours under the blazing midsummer sun outside the blackened ruins of the presidential palace in Nicosia. Greek Cypriots-old women in black, stalwart white-haired peasants, city people of all classes and ages-had gathered to hear their President, Archbishop Makarios. With theatrical gestures and a tone of moral outrage, he denounced the coup attempt by Greek extremists that a year ago had led directly to the Turkish occupation of almost half of the island and the shattering of the then quiescent Mediterranean tourist paradise...
Cyprus has a long history of conflict between the Greek majority and Turkish minority who inhabit it. Too of ten in recent times, the Turks have been second-class citizens. But under the rule of Archbishop Makarios, a reasonable if at times precarious modus vivendi had been achieved, and an independent Cyprus was prospering.

One is the Greek Orthodox Church, headed in the U.S. by Archbishop lakovos, who set up 50 state committees after the Turkish invasion to raise money for Greek-Cypriot refugees (collections so far: $1.3 million) and to urge letters to Congressmen. Iakovos has personally pressed the issue with President Ford, Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy and Democratic Presidential Contenders Henry Jackson and Lloyd Bentsen. The other is AHEPA (American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association), the Greek-American fraternal order, which has 400 chapters and about...
...Joans as there are actresses who play her and audiences who see her. But what was Shaw's personal notion of Joan? Using his own inflective emphases, he describes her as a "protestant" and a "nation-alist." She protests against the authority of the church represented by the Archbishop of Rheims (Max Helpmann) in favor of the individual conscience. She subverts the authority of the lords temporal and their feudal privileges by proclaiming the supremacy of the nation-state. Her real visions, then, are of the dawn of the age of democracy, and her real voice...
