Greeley and three colleagues compared the results of the new survey with a roughly parallel poll taken in 1963 and found that many Catholic habits and attitudes had changed...
AROUND ABOUT 1966, when Prince produced and directed Cabaret, things begin to liven up. What drew him to the play, he explains, was "the parallel between the spiritual bankruptcy of Germany in the 1920s and our country in the 1960s."

Moreover, it has created a state-owned oil company, Statoil, that must be included as a partner in nearly all private drilling ventures. The government flatly forbids drilling north of the 62nd parallel, where most of the nation's 30,000 fishermen live and work. The fishermen fear that oil spills and giant rigs will destroy their fishing banks. Besides being the mainstay of the nation's economic prosperity-at least until the oil boom-the fishermen represent a potent political force...
