...John J. Carberry of St. Louis was considered in line for promotion to the college as soon as he took over that see last year; his two immediate predecessors were cardinals. Both Cooke and Carberry are cautious on theological matters-both have firmly defended the Pope's birth-control encyclical-but are advocates of aggressive inner-city programs in their racially explosive archdioceses...
Broadcasters usually consider TV censorship a menace only slightly less lethal than poison gas. Once released, they say, even the smallest amount of enforced control over programming will inexorably expand until it eventually envelops and deadens the most remote corners of the communications industry. Yet at its annual convention in Washington, D.C., last week, the National Association of Broadcasters-which includes station owners and networks-took a tentative step toward adopting a plan for the industry's first version of formal censorship...

Death Throes. To a pounding, throbbing cacophony of percussion and the shrill tooting of a wooden flute, dancers in extravagant costumes celebrate legendary rituals, their stiff-legged gyrations seeming, like some ancient idol, only half alive. Dancer Jorge Tyller, a Yaqui Indian, reenacts with awesome control the death throes of a shot deer, his tortured posturings bringing to mind some kind of primitive sacrifice as seen by the victim...
