...Angriest of all was California's Episcopal Bishop James A. Pike, who was himself baptized and brought up as a Roman Catholic-and was never rebaptized when he became an Episcopalian. Pike denounced the rebaptism as "sacrilegious" and a "direct slap at our church." The Right Rev. Donald Hallock, Episcopal Bishop of Milwaukee, admitted that he too had a "feeling of disappointment...
Wallace, Alabama law-enforcement officers and Selma's red-neck hoodlums were caricatured as fascist bullyboys, Neanderthal dimwits or lumbering ogres from a horror movie.

But he struck others where it hurt, since he believed that people thought best when they were angriest. Addressing the clergy, he praised heretics. Speaking to Communists, he ostentatiously crossed himself, shouting "Christ be praised!" He challenged all parties and creeds and was never worried about contradicting himself. "If someone should organize an Unamuno party," he said, "I would be the first 'antiunamunista...
