Last week fear was tangible in Cincinnati. The demand for tear-gas pens, door chains and bolts, pistols, pocket knives, karate instruction and watchdogs was unprecedented. One ad to sell three German shepherds brought 75 phone calls in two hours. Newspapers have run police-prepared instructions on how women should defend themselves by biting, kicking, screaming or scratching. A grocery chain imported 100,000 plastic whistles to give to its customers. Deliverymen have set up complex systems of passwords with hundreds of housewives who feel as if they are under siege...

Sitting on a bar stool, his clerical collar shining in the spotlight, he is putting on a four-week act that includes readings from his book of unusual prayers, Are You Running with Me, Jesus? (TIME, Nov. 26), and anecdotal ad libs on such subjects as premarital sex, homosexuality, integration and the institutional church.
