...Bow-Tie Bishop. Stockwood came to Southwark in 1959 from a post as vicar of Great St. Mary's, Cambridge University's church, where he often sported bow ties instead of dog collar and packed in undergraduate congregations for guest addresses by such speakers as the Labor Party's Aneurin Bevan and anti-apartheid Bishop Trevor Huddleston. He took his informality right along with him to Southwark. He sometimes takes a morning dip with early-rising parishioners at an open-air pool before starting a full Sunday's work. Once, by appointment, he called, wearing layman...
...trouble was the long-expected, long-disputed state visit to Britain by Greece's King Paul and Queen Frederika. Fearing precisely the kind of left-wing demonstrations that occurred last week, Greek Premier Constantine Karamanlis advised against the trip, resigned when the royal couple refused to bow to pressure and decided to go anyway. British political critics base their case against the King and Queen largely on the fact that Greek jails still contain about 1,000 prisoners seized more than a decade ago during the civil war; most are believed to be Communist, and the Greeks point...

The dance is the courtly Varsoviana, brought to America from the palaces of Europe by Mexico's Emperor Maximilian; the man who puts his foot out so skillfully is Hotelman Conrad Nicholson Hilton, who calls the tune for the $293 million Hilton...

More nations should bow to it, suggested the Athens meeting. The court should be empowered to hear cases between individuals as well as states; and the possibility of "regional world courts" should be explored...
...Empire heavyweight champion, but he was older by eight years and outweighed by 21 Ibs.; then, too, there was all that tender scar tissue around Cooper's battered eyes. "I'm afraid our 'Enery will 'ave to 'it 'im over the bonce with Bow bells to beat 'im," admitted one Londoner. But Clay was so brash, so, well, so American ("That cripple," snorted Cassius. "I'll whup him like I was his Daddy") that Britons still paid up to 6 guineas ($17.64) for a rain-spattered seat, and raided the cooky...
