...twelve features in the series is to watch Hollywood at its brilliant best and its wilted worst. Her earliest appearance is in Office Blues at 19, when, in spit curls and bee-stung lips, she boop-a-doops: "I hate to urge a man/But he acts like a clergyman . . . I'm so cynical/ He's rabbinical...
...poor parish priest," as he likes to call himself, was already gloating over his anticipated new riches. "I'll be the first clergyman in the history of the world to get a gold platter," exulted ostracized Congressman Adam Clayton Powell last week on the Bahamian isle of North Bimini. That hardly amounted to the "fantastic" disclosure promised for his first press conference since Congress last month decided not to seat him pending an investigation of his free-wheeling way with public funds.

Time was when a young clergyman could expect his first pulpit to be a rural clapboard church whose faithful accorded him and his preaching unquestioning respect. Today, he is more apt to find himself confronted with spiritual drift in suburbia or explosive hatred in an urban ghetto-and every-where by growing skepticism about the value of religion.

Adam Clayton Powell is no ordinary clergyman - or Congressman. He spends much of his time these days cavorting in a Bahamian hideaway with a beauty queen that he has put on his payroll. He is a fugitive from his own district, where he faces a year and four months in jail for defying a $164,000 libel judgment. He is seen only sporadically in Congress, where his absentee record (50% in 1966 on yea-nay roll-call votes) is one of the worst. His fellow House members have largely stripped him of his authority as chairman of the Education...
