Murphy's surprise victory, most observers say, was the result of an issue on which he refused to take a stand: the explosive referendum on Proposition 14. This amendment to the state constitution (which was approved easily) was designed to cancel all laws against discrimination in real estate transactions.

Jesuit officials suppressed the publication of a symposium on obedience that raised some critical questions about the society's rules. Hierarchical pressure last month forced the National Council of Catholic Men to cancel a four-part television series explaining the current church-wide debate over birth control. Both Father McMahon and Father Cocker were promptly disciplined by their superiors, forbidden to preach, and sent off to retreats...
