Political Career: Finding the Church of Cyprus at low tide, Makarios set out to re-establish church prestige and improve the life of village priests. He stirred the dying enosis (union with Greece) movement into holding a plebiscite (1950), which produced a 95% vote in favor of union. He then sponsored a nationalist youth organization and called for a boycott of everything British. Carrying his propaganda into foreign fields, he visited Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Britain and the U.S., and last year went to the Bandung conference to seek Asian support for Cypriot self-determination.

More than that, it has created a boom in the occult. A West Coast hypnotist advertised an offer to "establish the prior existence" of all comers (at $25 an existence). Around the country, while hostesses gave "come as you were" parties and restaurants offered "reincarnation cocktails," ordinary Americans began turning up (often on TV screens) in earlier lifetimes as German leather merchants, French peasants, English princesses, and; in one case, a horse.

House libraries are useful for Music I only in varying degrees, depending on the whim of library committees...
...Cadillac? Lawyer Thomas tried his best to prove that 26-year-old Autherine Lucy, far from being a woman merely in search of an education, is something of a conspirator herself. In an obvious attempt to establish her as a paid tool of the N.A.A.C.P., he asked her why she had come to class in a Cadillac, and who was paying for her attorneys. Judge Grooms sustained objections to most of this questioning, and Thomas moved on to other ground. Witnesses for the university testified that during the riots Autherine's life had been clearly in danger, that there...
