Wary of Yogurt. Through some deft last-minute maneuvers, Archbishop Makarios, the island's bearded President, managed to sidestep some of the immediate consequences of the settlement. Under the agreement, the Turks and Greeks called on him to disband his 11,000-man Greek Cypriot National Guard and to grant wide police powers to the 4,000 U.N. peace-keeping troops stationed on Cyprus.

...consecrated a bishop in St. Peter's in 1932, he wore the same vestments that the patrician Roman had worn at his own consecration. Returning to the U.S., Spellman served as auxiliary bishop of Boston and two months after the elevation of Pius XII in 1939 was named Archbishop of New York (he was made a cardinal...
