He has picketed FBI offices to object to, among other things, identification of his brother Vincent as a Mafia soldier. Now Gigante is engaged in another battle. With the grudging acquiescence of his archbishop, New York's "fighting priest" is running for Congress.

Perhaps the fate was too harsh for the lady-or for her chronicles-but it is the kind that this dubbed and sluggish adaptation deserves...
...pastoral letter entitled A Crisis of Conscience, Salisbury's Archbishop Francis Markall announced that the Catholic Church would refuse to obey Rhodesia's race laws because they are "contrary to the Christian faith." The letter, read at church services throughout the land, quotes the Apostles: "We must obey God rather than...
