...malodorous was the air surround ing the Bishop Processing Co. near Bishop, Md., that nausea forced a federal official to flee the area before he could read his Scentometer. Spreading from the plant was the pungent smell of rendered chicken heads, feet, feathers and entrails. Southerly breezes wafted the odor across the state line to the town of Selbyville, Del. After Maryland's efforts to assert control failed, Selbyville citizens began a movement that eventually persuaded the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to sue Bishop under the 1967 Clean Air Act.

Last week Father Sponga quietly abandoned his vow of celibacy to marry Mary Ellen Barrett, 33, a nurse at a Roman Catholic hospital in the Philadelphia suburb of Darby, Pa., and the divorced mother of three children. In so doing, he became the highest ranking ecclesiastic of the 350 or so priests who have left the Catholic Church in the U.S. within the last two years...
