Sniping incidents declined, and the two ethnic groups even began to mix with one another on a relatively friendly, if cautious, basis. Earlier this month, as a gesture of good will, the Greek Cypriot government of Archbishop Makarios released from prison Turkish Cypriot Leader Rauf Denktash, who had been captured after he secretly smuggled himself into Cyprus...

...church's most consistently reform-minded prelates, urbane, witty Cardinal Léger grew up in the Quebec village of St. Anicet, and was rector of the Canadian College in Rome before being elected Archbishop of Montreal in 1950. Pope Pius XII named him a cardinal three years later. At the Second Vatican Council, Léger spoke out in favor of a conciliar statement on religious freedom and for a change in church doctrine that would allow for the possibility of artificial birth control...
