...they keep track of the remaining minutes before the Resurrection of Christ. Here, outside the church, they, the Orthodox, are much fewer than the grinning, milling rabble who oppress and terrorize them more than ever did the Tartars. The Tartars, surely, would have let up for Matins on Easter Sunday...
...predictable feature of network television in recent years has been the outburst of yet another feud between the Smothers Brothers and the men in CBS's program-practices division. Otherwise known as censors, these men regularly delete what they consider to be the most offensive cracks from the Sunday evening Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. With equal regularity, the brothers threaten to quit.

For all the familiarity of her views, she remains an original, with a capacity to shock and surprise. An enthusiast of interdisciplinary studies, she has organized countless sessions that have brought anthropologists together with men of widely varying disciplines. Although not enamored...
