...journalistic crew of seven in accordance with Gallup's advice. All told, Réalités' writers asked 25,000 questions in more than 3,000 interviews. On the Eastern seaboard, Reporter Pierre Marchant spent two weeks talking to 60 U.S. educators, business executives, politicians and clergymen. He posed to them all the single leading, loaded question: "Is there anything about the U.S. that worries you?" With only this priming, some of Marchant's subjects talked for four hours.

...first provision in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights bars "an establishment of religion." Last week the Supreme Court handed down a decision affirming that provision-and thereby brought upon itself a deluge of denunciation.

Evangelist Billy Graham condemned the ruling as "another step toward secularism." A conference of 120 Protestant Episcopal clergymen from Long Island churches adopted a resolution saying: "The ultimate effect of this decision may be to nullify and threaten with destruction the American people...

He answers more than 2,000 letters a year, and has become good friends with such non-Catholic clergymen as Willem Visser Hooft, general secretary of the World Council of Churches; the Most Rev. Geoffrey Fisher, retired Archbishop of Canterbury; and Franklin Clark Fry, who last week was elected first president of the newly merged Lutheran Church in America...
