...first non-Italian to serve in this capacity since Spain's Cardinal Merry del Val held the office under Pius X from 1903 to 1914. While there was some surprise that this sensitive job would go to a non-Italian, the appointment was in keeping with Paul's long-declared intention of internationalizing the Curia.

"This is what we have been demanding," said John Cardinal Wright of Pittsburgh, one of four...
...elevating Villot, the Pope is also meeting his own personal requirements, since Villot is in accord with Paul's middle-of-the-road style.

Thus, he points out that NBC was ahead in the ratings with college graduates (19.1 to CBS's 18.3) and among families earning $15,000 or more (20.9 to 19.1). The results, in money, bear him out; NBC topped CBS in prime-time commercial billings, $212 million to $210 million; ABC booked $166 million. In around-the-clock billings, however, CBS clung to first place, with...
...character's affectations. Both Ken Evans and Judson St. victor do their share of honest work in lesser roles; one suspects both would be happier elsewhere, but it is in the nature of house shows to conscript all manner of participants, and this particular Eliot House production, spread over Paul Fry's efficiently inspired scenery, speaks well for the institution of house drama...
