They are descended from Robert the Pious and Gontran the Rich, from Suleiman the Magnificent and Cathal Crovedearg of the Wine-Red Hand. They belong, variously, to the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Moslem and Orthodox-both Greek and Russian-churches. They are, almost without exception, reasonable, personable -and, it goes without saying, well-bred. They consider themselves the legitimate claimants to the thrones of 14 European countries where royalty has gone out of business...
Jerry Cutler was born into a family of rabbis. While training as an Orthodox rabbi in Brooklyn, though, he used to slip up to the Catskill resorts on weekends, where he did a stand-up comic shtik using the name Jerry Herring. His fellow students at the yeshiva took a dim view of his enchantment with show business. On his return to classes from the Catskills, they would mutter in Yiddish: "Der bum iz du [The bum is here]." All the same, Cutler was ordained at 24 and served a Conservative congregation in Stamford, Conn., before becoming a reviewer...
Yesterday the Greek military dictatorship cancelled without explanation the traditional Greek Orthodox memorial services, scheduled for today, to mourn the death of the "13" who were killed by the police and army a month ago.

Kosher Kitchens. The whole idea of assimilation has come to seem to some Reform Jews what it has always seemed to the Orthodox-the road to godlessness. Quietly symbolic of this reverse evolution is Rabbi Alexander Moshe Schindler, the roundish, cigar-smoking World War II ski trooper who was chosen to replace Rabbi Eisendrath as the U.A.H.c.'s president. Schindler was born in Munich 47 years ago. He joined the flood of refugees who fled to the U.S. in the late 1930s, eventually becoming the U.A.H.C.'S director of education and-six years ago-its vice president. Unlike...
