...Church from the hands of the English State. Theologically, the movement sought to restore the practices of the church to their original condition, as they were long before the Reformation. In the jargon of the church, the monks are high church anglo-Catholics. That is, they use an elaborate ritual and they agree with the Roman Catholic Church on most important theological points. However, they consider themselves to be completely independent of the Pope. For example, unlike the Catholic Church, women may become high church Anglican priests, and priests may marry...
...Bears do, indeed, forgo the mincing ankle exercise this night. But a visitor also notices that the rest of their pre-game ritual would be more familiar to Mikhail Baryshnikov than Don Meredith Pairing off to use one another's backs as ballet bars, they stretched and flexed their legs, loosening hamstring and groin muscles that are always vulnerable to injury.

Yet the President could hardly present a plan for directing the Federal Reserve Board's policies since it is, by law, an independent agency designed to be free...
...sleepy Hot Springs, Va., the sprawling Georgian-style Homestead was gripped with a particular excitement the weekend before last. The same little ritual takes place every fall and spring when the Business Council, composed of about 100 top corporate chieftains, gathers with the highest Government officers at the exclusive resort in what sometimes have been stormy conclaves. As General Motors Chairman Thomas Murphy puts it, the meetings are held "so we can hear Government's views, but more important, they can hear our views."
