Theological University. The success of the Union so far gives promise that it will grow. G.T.U. officials are currently discussing the possibility of bringing in Southern Baptist, Jesuit, Mormon, Missouri Synod Lutheran and Jewish institutions.

Eventually, they expect there will be some common courses on the undergraduate level, and that the participating seminaries will, in effect, become member colleges of the nation's first theological university...
...eliminate the image of the past. He is not the magnetic, crowd-drawing candidate that Bobby Kennedy is. Keating can walk from Madison Square Garden onto Seventh Avenue without a soul stopping him to shake his hand or ask for his autograph. He can go to a state Baptist convention in the Bronx to find that scarcely 100 people have showed up to hear him in a hall that would seat four or five times that many...

He supervises such speechwriters as Richard Goodwin, Douglass Cater and Horace Busby, tosses in the scriptural citations of which Lyndon is so fond. Better than any other staffer, he knows Johnson's mercurial moods, manages to assuage the boss with well-reasoned argument, never shouts or panics. Yet such self-control comes at a price: Moyers suffers from a chronic...
