...libel damages and interest that he has owed a Harlem widow for two years. So, flying back from his $75,000 Puerto Rico beach house, Powell put the whammy on his Harlem friends. After explaining his plight to the congregation at his Abyssinian Baptist Church, he toured the nightspots, drumming up guests for one of his $25-a-head "Justice for Powell" cocktail parties, which have helped to raise $16,000 to date. "I'm just," said he, "a poor parish priest." He will be poorer still if Congressman Lionel Van Deerlin has his way. The California Democrat...
...Christ Church Methodist: "The new license in the arts is one of the major problems in the church today. But none of us are interested in rigorous public censorship.

With Old Testament wrath, he pursues Chief Sierra Charriba through the wilderness in A.D. 1865. But once Heston gets on Mexican soil, Director Sam Peckinpah (Ride the High Country) lets Dundee ramble so freely that the Apaches are soon lost in subplots...

Many churchmen across the nation acclaimed the Klan's program, and in the South especially, Methodist and Baptist clergymen lent the K.K.K. massive support. It was not long before it blossomed into a mighty nationwide organization that claimed to number in its hooded ranks about 4,000,000 members...
