...been. "The bad manners of General de Gaulle may shock," said the usually pro-Gaullist Paris Presse-L'lntransigeant. "They should not surprise." De Gaulle remained grandly aloof. "There is no De Gaulle problem," said a presidential spokesman, "but a Canadian problem." The government claimed that the Canadian visit was a total success since it focused world attention on a Canadian problem too long submerged and glossed over. "I could not have done otherwise," DeGaulle confided to an aide after his return. "I would have failed in my historical role...

Christian domination over the Holy City ended three centuries later; in A.D. 638, the troops of the Byzantine Emperor surrendered after an onslaught to the Moslem cavalry of the Caliph Omar. In memory of Mohammed's heavenly visit, the victorious Moslems built the Dome of the Rock over the site of the Old Temple. More often than not, they tolerantly allowed Christians and Jews free access to the shrines of the city. In 1095, however, inspired by rumors of Islamic persecution of pilgrims, Pope Urban II proclaimed a holy crusade to reconquer Jerusalem for Christ. Four years later, mail...

...meeting with Athenagoras, primate of Orthodoxy, was clearly the main purpose of the Pope's visit. In large measure, the diffident reception accorded Paul reflected Turkish dislike for Athenagoras, the titular spiritual leader of Cyprus' Archbishop Makarios, whom the Turks despise. In retaliation against Greek Cypriot "atrocities," the Turks have expelled many of the country's Orthodox believers, even hinted that Athenagoras, although a Turkish citizen, might some day be forced into exile...

...faucet is a dramatic event. Her only companions are "the whisperers," unheard voices who speak in her cobwebbed brain, alternately providing her with companionship and terror. In the gritty industrial town in which she lives, time settles like the soot as she goes about her monotonous routine-a visit to the library to warm her feet on a radiator pipe; a stop at the police station to record the most recent threat by her voices; an interlude at the National Assistance Board for her pitiful dole...
