Burton-Becket hardly senses this obsession; his concern is his own soul, "Where honor should be, in me there is only a void," he tells his mistress (Sian Phillips). Then the easy-living courtier becomes archbishop, and fate summons him to uphold "the honor of God." But does he die to defend canon law, made great by the great office thrust upon him, or is he merely a self-appointed martyr in search of his Cain? Given a mass of ambiguities to project, Burton projects them remarkably well. He daringly meets the competition offered by O'Toole with...
...however, that the students' chances are considerably improved since a Federal Court of Appeals ruled three weeks ago in favor of William Worthr, a journalist who visited Cuba in 1961, on a similar charge. All 50 of the students from the last trip have had their passports declared technically void, but as none of them has attempted to leave the country the State Department action has not yet been tested...
...estate so completely that everybody involved will be grey before getting a penny. Next to spending money, Dodge's favorite pastime seems to have been writing wills and codicils (at least eleven), and for a finishing touch he provided that the last one would be void if his mother outlived him.

It will agree that some marriages were null and void from the beginning, but such cases are rare. In 1962, the diocesan and regional marital courts of the church around the world probably annulled fewer than 2,000 marriages. The Rota, Rome's final court of appeal for most annulment claims, handled only 124 cases, gave decrees of nullity...
When sex is pursued only for pleasure, or only for gain, or even only to fill a void in society or in the soul, it becomes elusive, impersonal, ultimately disappointing. That is what Protestant Theologian Helmut Thielicke has in mind when he warns that "a dethroned god seems to be staging his comeback in a secularized world." Eros is accorded high rank today, "a rank that comes close to the deity it once had." The spiritual danger is that Eros may leave "no room for agape, which lives not by making claims but by giving...
