...Beatitude Archbishop Makarios, 58, the bearded, black-robed spiritual and political leader of Cyprus, last week brought a splendid succession of personal tributes. Nicosia's schoolchildren left classes to march on the presidential palace and shout, "Don't give in, Makarios! We are with you."

Pope Pius XII once publicly praised the motor scooters for "raising the level of life of the social categories who cannot buy more costly means of transport.''
