...Greece is "a crowned liberal democracy." The King is "the symbol of national unity." He will have power to appoint and dismiss Premiers, but may select and fire other Cabinet ministers only with the Premier's consent. He is commander in chief of the armed forces and appoints the chiefs of staff and the internal-security chief on recommendation of the Supreme National Defense Council. He may pardon prisoners on recommendation of a newly created Judicial Council...
...Bulgar wheat with concentrated milk and sugar, coffee and/or Keen (Nestle's), a lemon-lime powder we use to give the filtered water some taste.

Although a kindly man in person, Ottaviani was a symbol of repressive Catholic conservatism and a leader of the stand-fast minority at the Second Vatican Council. Ottaviani's successor is Yugoslavia's Franjo Cardinal Seper, 62, the Archbishop of Zagreb. As his country's unofficial primate since 1960, Seper (pronounced "shaper") has pursued a course of accommodation with Tito; at the recent Synod of Bishops...
...departure that has occurred from the pattern of a generation ago. Conductors traditionally rose through an arduous apprenticeship with provincial opera houses and orchestras, rarely surfacing internationally until they were in their 40s and 50s. "Mehta," says his friend Israeli Violinist Ivry Gitlis, "is one of the torches, a symbol of a new kind of musician." New York Concert Manager Jay Hoffman, 34, says, "Mehta speaks to my generation. He has broken out of the mold...
