Under the London agreement of 1959, both Turkey and Greece have the right to station small detachments of their regular troops on the territory of Cyprus. Early this month, Turkey notified the Cypriot government of Archbishop Makarios that it intended to rotate home 335 Turkish soldiers whose one-and two-year terms were up and to replace them in Cyprus by an equal number. Such exchanges had taken place before without incident. When the Cypriot government requested a postponement, Turkey agreed to a delay of one week...

When O'Connell died in April 1944, Cushing was made temporary administrator of the archdiocese, and later that year he was formally installed as archbishop, thanks in large part to the intervention of Spellman. Friends then and now, Cushing and Spellman went through a long decade of cool relations. "The difference was to a large degree temperamental-the difference between a roughie [Cushing] and a smoothie," explains one veteran...
