...Ulbricht's 24,500 armed forces and paramilitary police. They would also have to reckon immediately with the three Soviet divisions that are in and around the city. But, as General Maxwell Taylor, soon to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has pointed out, the likelihood of direct Soviet attack on West Berlin is extremely remote. What the West does face, he predicted, is a continuous barrage of "ambiguous challenges about which we might be uncertain...
Convincing the Elected. The scoreboard on Kennedy's congressional record, past, present and future: As of last week, every possibility has evaporated that the Senate might revive Kennedy's request for a Department of Urban Affairs. There is little likelihood that the Senate will replace his farm bill, which was defeated in the House. Medicare went down to Senate defeat several weeks ago.

He is the darling of the internationals-a janizary in Kelly's Monegasque toy palace, a captive treasure among the potentates and popinjays of the Onassis floating salon...
Nowadays, said Father Walsh, there is little likelihood that episcopal elections could be corrupted, and lay voting for bishops-with ultimate approval reserved to the Pope-might well cause Catholics to "show more concern for the cares and worries of their religious leader." Moreover, the restoration of episcopal election could speed the course of ecumenicism: "A Catholic Church with a popularly elected hierarchy would unquestionably seem more inviting to our separated brethren in the Protestant and Orthodox churches, as well as to millions of believers who belong to no church but are attracted by democratic procedures...
