Inch by inch the aerial thief descends to cop the swag. Second by second the suspense intensifies. If the rope slips, if a tool falls, if so much as a large bead of sweat drops off the burglar's brow and lands on the pressure-sensitive floor, the impact will inevitably stimulate tiny electronic centers and trip the general alarm...
...feel hollow and quite uncaring about the whole subject, are delighted with the era of the "good Pope John" and welcome with joy and enthusiasm his outspoken and good-humored disciple, Cardinal Gushing.

They had come separately to the White House after the Cyprus crisis hotted up early this month when Turkey prepared to invade the island rather than allow enosis-the union of Greece and Cyprus. Putting his prestige as an international mediator on the line, Johnson conferred first with Inönü. A wizened, wily little old man, Inönü tried to enlist U.S. support...
