Under the new constitution, elections may not be held without the presence in Greece of King Constantine, who spent his first summer in exile aimlessly resort-hopping in Italy and Sardinia. Few Greeks expect the government to allow him to return soon, and Papadopoulos last week brusquely refused to set a date for elections.

And if necessary, the Democratic platform says, the Government must become the "employer of last resort" of those unable to find work in private industry. The Republicans stressed fiscal responsibility and propose to combat urban problems primarily through private enterprise...
Even when judged by the sedate standards of the resort town of Cape May, on the southern tip of New Jersey, the 3,000 conventioners were an extraordinary crew. The delegates to the Seventh World Congress of the fundamentalist International Council of Christian Churches did not drink, nor did they smoke; they spent most of their time browsing through Scriptures and savoring the special satisfactions of zealous dissent...
