...witnesses. Indeed, St. Catherine of Siena earned her major fame by talking the Avignon pope into moving the papacy back to Rome. Partially in recognition of this, Pope Paul VI recently named her, along with the 16th century mystic, St. Teresa of Avila, "Doctor of the Church" -a title hitherto bestowed only upon...
...other "grave reasons," a single judge rather than a panel of three may now be permitted to hear a case. Some petitioners will no longer have to face double jeopardy. If the facts of a case are clear enough after the first decision, the church may now waive the hitherto mandatory requirement that a second trial, in another court, confirm the decision of the first.

Last week the Russians reported a hitherto unknown physiological problem apparently attributable to zero gravity. After only 24 hours in space, both cosmonauts suffered a deterioration in vision; their eye muscles coordinated poorly, and they had difficulty perceiving colors...
...benefits of the plan would spread to middle-class workers in two ways. First, Kelso estimates, the funds for capital investment through increased stock sales would support economic expansion at hitherto undreamed-of rates of perhaps 15% or 20% a year, creating a great demand for labor.

He proposes to open the hitherto untouchable-indeed, almost sacrosanct-Federal Highway Trust Fund to purposes other than building roads. By so doing, Volpe will antagonize the highway lobby, a powerful amalgam of contractors, oilmen, billboard companies, automakers and others. The fight of his political life appears imminent...
