Conservative Backlash. Inevitably, millions of U.S. Catholics are indifferent to this kind of renewal-the born-and-bred bead-sayers for whom faith is simply a comfortably furnished apartment of the mind. Inevitably, too, there is a "renewal backlash" of Catholics who like the church the way they find it, and look upon its unchanging doctrines and structures as pillars of security in an age of flux.

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...
...promenade is within easy reach of everyone in the theater, and when the balconies fill with strollers at intermissions, the walls, as Johnson says, seem "papered with people." Intricate grilles along the balconies, crystal lights against the inner wall, and a golden bead curtain across the full sweep of the glass wall that faces the plaza give the room a noble, vaguely Venetian glow. It is the perfect place in which to pop a champagne cork...
