...what may indicate a schism in the Derita camp, 'Poon Hautboy Thomas H. Hill '83 said the candidate will probably make no public appearances. "Derita is somewhat of a low visibility fellow--much lower than the other candidates." He added, "there's sort of a spiritual quality...
Bignone's tenure will be complicated by a gaping schism within the three-man military junta. The air force and navy dropped out of political decision making two weeks ago to protest the army's refusal to appoint a civilian as President. In a deliberate snub, Navy Admiral Jorge Isaac Anaya arrived at Bignone's inauguration only at the last minute. Air Force Chief Basilio Lami Dozo boycotted the ceremony altogether. Nonetheless, the army's enormous edge in manpower (130,000 troops) over the navy (36,000) and the air force (19,500) is likely...
...smooth transition belied rumors that a family schism had developed between the traditionalist senior Princes, such as Khalid and Abdullah, and the more modern-oriented branch of the family, headed by Fahd.

Arrayed in favor from the start were the British bishops. Opposed were key members of the Curia-and, most notably, Archbishop Ubaldo Calabresi, the papal nuncio in Argentina. Backing Calabresi were...
...long-planned, historic six-day visit to Britain-the first by a Pontiff since the 1534 schism under King Henry VIII-obviously requires some difficult calculations. But informed Vatican sources were relatively confident that the Pontiff would proceed on schedule, unless the fighting in the South Atlantic escalates dramatically. As one Vatican official puts it, "If there were an absolute state of [all-out] war, that would be different. He would have to dissociate himself from that. But he has constantly stressed that his visit is a pastoral visit," which by Vatican thinking means that the Pope could tour England...
