...founding in 1964, Kansas City's lay-edited National Catholic Reporter has made a specialty of running stones that some members of the U.S. hierarchy would have preferred not to see in print. The weekly has, for example, revealed the secret texts of the Papal Commission on Birth Control and exhaustively reported repressions of outspoken priests. Last week Bishop Charles H.

...three federal judges who heard the case in St. Paul concluded that the Control Act "jabs at the very core of our traditional freedoms." The third judge did not go quite that far. But in a concurring opinion, he said that since so little time was left before the election, there would be less harm in letting the Communists appear on the ballot now than in denying them a right they might win in the future.
