...deposed president of the San Francisco bank, Don C. Silverthorne, whose "gross dishonesty" Saxon had blamed for its collapse, turned up at the hearings and told newsmen in a corridor confrontation that he gave "booze, cigars and virgin-wool shirts" to both Saxon and his West Coast regional director, Arnold E. Larsen. "I don't give liquor by the bottle," smiled Silverthorne. "I give it by the case...
Increasingly, priests and laymen disobey the orders of an immediate superior in the name of obedience to "the mind of the church." One striking example took place in England last month where Father Arnold McMahon of Worcestershire and Father Joseph Cocker of the Isle of Wight openly challenged the church's position on contraception.

It is also denied in practice by millions of Catholics. "They don't leave the church over birth control nowadays," says...

Historian Arnold Toynbee defended "missionary work" in the ideological struggle but insisted that man should have freedom to listen and choose; thus the right to propagandize fell well short of enforcement by military might. Arkansas Democrat J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, agreed that an ideology is "a source of strength and creative action" for men and nations, but found a measure of hope in the fact that within recent years Russia and the U.S. have shown a tendency to "cut their ideologies down to size." If this spirit continues, he said, both powers may become...
