...Greeks formally belong. Although Greece's constitution proclaims religious freedom, Orthodoxy is granted special privileges as the state church, and all proselytizing by other faiths is forbidden. Orthodox leaders regard the Witnesses as the most persistent violators of the rule. While Kazanis was facing retrial, the Athens daily Ta Nea summed up church opinion in a story that wildly denounced the Witnesses as "an American Mafia with agents throughout the world, who make propaganda in favor of Judaism." Greece's Orthodox primate, Metropolitan Chrysostomos, recently called the sect "the Number 1 enemy of our church." When asked about...

Shen Te can't manage it, nor can the bumbling gods...
...protests himself, meeting with Buddhist leaders and assuring them that he supported their program for elections and social reform-but also warning that street demonstrations would be ruthlessly crushed. Ky is a man of his word: last week, in fulfillment of his pledge to shoot war profiteers, Chinese Merchant Ta Vinh was executed at dawn by a firing squad. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge also met with Thich Tri Quang to caution moderation. To quell the demonstrations in the north, Ky sent the ousted General Thi back to I Corps to calm and reassure his own disappointed supporters, who included...
