From the photo, it looked as if the Archbishop of Canterbury, 62, were being hustled off to the pokey-and in Las Vegas yet. Well, not quite. The Most Reverend and Right Honorable Arthur Michael Ramsey, stopping off for a day en route to an Episcopal conference in Seattle, was merely getting a V.I.P.'s reception, Nevada-style. His Grace drew a crowd of 8,000 businessmen, politicians and highrollers to the Convention Center for a talk on Christian unity.

He also pointed out that church teachings unequivocally state the duty of Christians "to uphold law and order, without which justice is impossible."
