...York's John Lindsay and a politician with similar personal appeal, is posing the first serious G.O.P. challenge in 25 years. His Czech background suits ethnic groups, and he is trying to attract the city's blue-collar workers by hinting that he will oppose right-to-work laws if they will yield slightly to black demands. A former state secretary of labor and industry, the moderate Tabor promises to switch millions of dollars from patronage jobs to strengthen the police department.

Only supervised groups and party members on official business are now allowed to cross the borders into the West...
...resigning the diocese," Bishop Sheen says. "I am not resigning work. I am not retiring. I am regenerating." His appointment by Rome as titular Archbishop of Newport, on the tiny island of Wight off the English coast, is but a traditional gesture and will claim none of his time. Instead, he plans to return to New York to write, lecture and take up his interrupted career as the Catholic TV evangelist through a syndicated weekly program...
