...thing, Parvin had been named a co-conspirator -but was never tried-in a securities-law violation case along with Louis Wolfson. Moreover, the Parvin Foundation derived its income from Albert Parvin's ties with Las Vegas gambling operations. This raised a question similar to the central issue of the Fortas affair: Should a Supreme Court Justice be judged by the company he keeps?

After he returned to New York last week, General Secretary Eugene Carson Blake of the World Council wondered whimsically whether the black militants would be as eager to take over the church's debts as its assets. Even the place where it all began was not inclined to court more trouble. Although Riverside Church has promised to establish a fund for the disadvantaged...
