...peace until reinforcements arrived in the form of U.S. and other NATO forces. At least 10,000 soldiers would be necessary for the job. But Cyprus' Greeks had terrifying visions of a NATO plot to impose a political solution on terms favorable to the Turkish Cypriots. So Archbishop Makarios, President of Cyprus, accepted the idea of a peacekeeping force only on condition that it be under the U.N. Security Council...
Greece and Turkey immediately accepted the plan; Greek and Turkish Cypriots rejected it. Russia, ever eager to fish in troubled waters, insisted on a United Nations truce force, which Moscow hoped to control by virtue of its veto in the U.N. Security Council. Bearded Archbishop Makarios, neutralist President of Cyprus, would also prefer a U.N. mission, since he fears that a NATO contingent would lead to an actual partition of the island between Greek and Turkish communities. Nonetheless, Makarios knows well that if he rejects the Anglo-U.S. proposal, he will risk renewed savagery and possible invasion of Cyprus...
...number has always consumed considerable time and energy. Most coveted are the tags from 1 to 1250. No. 1 belongs to the president of the board of District of Columbia commissioners (which issues all D.C. licenses).

Today the Church of England has 15,488 priests for its 14,491 parishes, but no equitable way to distribute them. Only about 6,000 of the church's clerical livings are directly assigned by bishops and diocesan authorities. Nearly 2,600 are benefices controlled by Anglican laymen as private patrons. Others are filled by Oxford...
...without checking first with the other churches, which sometimes find it convenient to undermine his authority. Particularly antagonistic is the big Russian church, to which more than a third of the world's Orthodox Christians belong. Orthodoxy in Greece has mixed feelings about the Patriarch. Rome-hating Archbishop Chrysostomos of Athens deplored Athenagoras' Holy Land visit as "hasty." But many laymen and lower clergy admire the Patriarch and condemn the in transigence of Greece's Holy Synod...
