...weather ashore in Constantine's domain last week was as calm as the Mediterranean. While tourists sunned themselves on the beaches and listened to David Oistrakh perform with the Utah Symphony Orchestra in the 1,800-year-old Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Premier Stephan Stephanopoulos, 67, celebrated his first full year in office in his cluttered quarters at the Parliament building. He had been sworn in as Constantine's solution to the summer-long constitutional crisis provoked by the resignation of Premier George Papandreou last summer and as a way of avoiding Papandreou's demand...
Bobby's own office is an almost shrinelike oasis of calm. On one wall hangs William Walton's impressionistic portrait of J.F.K., State of the Union. On another is an oil portrait entitled Before His Last Mission, showing Joe Jr., eldest of the Kennedy children, in flying togs just before his death in 1944, when an explosives-laden plane in which he was flying blew up over the English Channel.

There is a desperate shortage of golf balls, and Rhodesian whites are having to make do with locally produced candy, clothing and false teeth, but nothing essential is missing from the shelves...
When New York City last week declared Trinity Church a municipal landmark, it honored something more than an esthetically pleasing place of worship. A grimy, spire-topped Gothic church overshadowed by Wall Street skyscrapers, it is an island of pastoral calm amidst the marketplace. Its outdoor benches are often crowded with secretaries and sightseers, and its cemetery is a favorite lovers' rendezvous. More than that, though, Trinity Church is a powerful, still-active force in U.S. ecclesiastical history. It is the largest parish in the Protestant Episcopal Church, with 3,900 congregants. It is also the wealthiest, with...
