...Paphos, police have used tear gas to dispense rioting pro-enosis students, and armed followers of the general have staged daring raids to obtain weapons and explosives. The big difference is that 17 years ago, Grivas' target was the British occupying power. Today it is his former ally, Archbishop Makarios, President of independent Cyprus...
Grivas still rejects that formula. But he also refuses to run against Makarios for the presidency-and with good reason. Five years ago, the Archbishop was elected for his second five-year term with 95% of the vote. He is expected to do as well in the coming election.

Big Daddy admonished the Archbishop...

In a gentle, anguished message read from Toulouse pulpits, Guyot said, "I wish I could remain silent," but reluctantly stated that priests who violate their vows of celibacy must consider themselves "relieved of their priestly functions." Thereupon, Forestier resigned, together with six of his colleagues in the working-class parish of St. Francis Xavier; the seven posted a statement of solidarity on their parish-house door. Though Forestier's comrades were somewhat...
