...that he will attain stature if (as short boys are advised in Dixie) he loads enough manure in his shoes. In his most famous plays he has hallucinated a vast but specious pageant of depravity in which fantasies of incest, cannibalism, murder, rape, sodomy and drug addiction constitute the canon of reality. Yet Broadway's bad boy has his sweet-mouthed moments, and Summer and Smoke (1948) is one of them: one of the few plays Williams obviously wrote primarily to please himself, one of the few in which artistic conscience was his only guide.

But most of them agreed with Collins' humiliating point. And the fact that he made it, observers noted, was a stout blow for the cause of disestablishment-the separation of Anglican Church and British state-whose most potent protagonist is Arthur Michael Ramsey, the new Archbishop of Canterbury (TIME, July...
