...abortive attempt last year to recall Church for his dovishness, financed by an out-of-state right-winger, riled even voters who disagreed with their Senator on Viet Nam. Hansen compounded that gaffe with a roundhouse charge that Church was "one of the chief architects of the chaos we are experiencing in our streets and in our foreign and fiscal policies." Recently, however, Hansen has been following the dictates of a Seattle public relations firm, and has made up ground by hitching his campaign to Nixon's coattails...

Affectionately human and totally unpredictable, Cushing was, more importantly, a pioneer ecumenicist in the open style of Pope John, a maverick prelate who found it possible, at various times, to endorse both the John Birch Society and the N.A.A.C.P.
