...whom have resolved the conflict by abandoning their faith. Others simply ignore the church's prohibition, continuing to receive the sacraments without official sanction. But there are also Catholics like Ralph who feel morally bound by the stern strictures of canon law and who would rather have a second-class citizenship in the church than none at all. To live this way, as one sympathetic diocesan official puts it, "you practically have to be a religious...
...permitting "character assassination." Specifically, he fumed that Mafia Enforcer Joseph Barboza had been unchallenged in testifying that Sinatra had "fronted" for the Mafia in real estate investments. "This bum went running off at the mouth. I resent it. I won't have it. I'm not a second-class citizen." Shaking a newspaper headline (WITNESS LINKS SINATRA WITH MAFIA) Sinatra snapped: "That's charming. That's all hearsay evidence, isn't it?"

Rusinov, the Croats "have a case of permanent national paranoia," which has made Croatia a center of conflict and division at home, and a source of violent agitation for nearly every European country that has imported Yugoslav workers...
...determinedly socialist state with an overlay of stern Arab tradition -women have second-class status-Algeria may not necessarily be a just society. But it is an economically more viable one than Cuba. It is also, as Castro may well have observed, a study in paradoxes. Despite the agonies that Algerians suffered at the hands of the French in the eight-year war for independence, ties with France remain remarkably strong. France is still Algeria's principal trading partner; 7,000 Frenchmen teach school or operate medical clinics, while 400,000 Algerians work in France and send home...
