...party's broad spectrum, from the so-called New Force on the far left and the Fanfanani (followers of former Premier Amintore Fanfani) to Rumor's own moderate rightists. The wildly fragmented Socialists picked up a total of nine ministries, including foreign affairs for veteran Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni, 77. The deputy premiership, too, went to a Socialist-Francesco de Martino, who is Nenni's subordinate in the party but has now become his superior in the government. Only the far-out leftists were unrepresented. The Republicans, third and smallest party in the coalition, picked...
Eliminating an Excuse. At least two leading Athens politicians have sought to seize on the developments to resume activity. They are Evangelos Averoff-Tossizza, 58, Foreign Minister in Constantine Karamanlis' conservative government from 1956 to 1963, and Spyros Markezinis, 59, the former leader of the small Progressive Party.

Shortly afterward, his commander, General Paul Vanuxem, appeared and watched for hours as Ponelle, a onetime student of Leger, painted a 30-foot, three-paneled canvas glorifying the French army. A few months after Ponelle finished the mammoth triptych, Vanuxem was arrested as a secret leader of the O.A.S. and jailed, winning acquittal only after a two-year fight. The painting he commissioned was installed in a Roman Catholic church on the base, and was not shown to the public for years...
...just such an idolatry that Barth saw in Nazism, which sought to impose Hitler's ideology on the Protestant churches of Germany. As a leader of the so-called "Confessing Church," Barth, then a professor at the University of Bonn, was the principal author of the Barmen Declaration, which opposed the Nazi infiltration of Christianity as a heathen profanation of God's message. Expelled from Germany in 1935, Barth continued his war of words against Hitlerism from the University of Basel. Later he volunteered for the Swiss home defense force and served as a border guard during World...
