...handed, espousing monastic beards and ceremonial hats for priests and castigating American touches like female choir participation. When more than 100 priests--including the Rev. Robert Stephanopoulos, a popular Manhattan cleric and George's father--signed a letter criticizing him, he handed Stephanopoulos a de facto demotion. A dissident campaign sprang up, organized via websites. Its message, says Dean Popps, a leader, was, "This guy's gotta go." In January all five U.S. senior bishops publicly agreed, flying to Constantinople (as the Greek Church still calls Istanbul) to petition Patriarch Bartholomew I. He told them that Spyridon would be Archbishop...
...still a national correspondent at Newsweek, he made our pages after winning a contest that crowned him Washington's Funniest Celebrity. The joke's on the Capitol, because his new job is working as TIME's deputy Washington bureau chief. Cooper will help shape coverage of the 2000 campaign while continuing to write about politics. Fortunately, this will not require complete sobriety. As demonstrated by his piece on George Bush in this week's Notebook section, Cooper is lending the humor he has honed as a stand-up comic.

But she just hasn?t pulled in the ratings to go with it." That lack of bottom-line success made it that much easier for the Disney suits to surround her with more and more synergistic corporate types, until life at the Alphabet lost its appeal. Another raft of reorganization meetings inside ABC Entertainment this week was apparently the last straw. Although some reports said that Tarses was due to be sacked, on Thursday...

"I'd love to see a point where [Roe vs. Wade] is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary," McCain told the San Francisco Chronicle on a left-coast campaign trip. "But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to undergo illegal and dangerous operations."
