...renewal-minded priests and nuns who fear the wrath of their bishops for taking part in illegal services.* Nonetheless, many of these clerics regard the services at underground churches as far more meaningful than Catholicism's official liturgy. Says one nun who belongs to an underground cell in California: "When one member looked up from prayer one evening and said, 'We're all friends,' I knew we had something new and very rich in community here...

The regents unanimously selected Charles Johnston Hitch, 57, an economist who helped revolutionize money management in the Pentagon before moving to Cal as vice president for finance two years ago. He will take office on Jan. 1, succeeding Clark Kerr, who was fired eight months ago. Hitch survived the fine screening of a regents selection committee that started with 261 names, eventually worked down to six, including HEW Secretary John Gardner, Berkeley Chancellor Roger Heyns...
