Locked Doors. Last week the Morreales got their volunteer, another controversial outsider: New York Jesuit Priest Joseph F. O'Rourke, 36, an antiwar activist who is now affiliated with Catholics for a Free Choice, a group that disputes the church's teachings on abortion. On the steps of Immaculate Conception Church, whose doors were firmly locked, O'Rourke baptized Nathaniel Ryan Morreale with the ancient formula, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Bill Baird, a former Sunday school teacher who now professes "no formal religion," was invited...

("Pat") Brown chose to switch from a Jesuit seminary to Yale Law School in the early 1960s, became a civil rights activist and antiwar crusader. By using the long-ignored power of his office-secretary of state-to implement campaign reform, he soon began making a name of his own, most recently by launching a well-publicized investigation into President Nixon's tax returns. Stiffer than his convivial father, he is nonetheless winning strong...
