The Church in Latin America is changing. While Rome still prohibits birth control, thereby encouraging the fecundity that is one of the continent's biggest obstacles to economic progress, many young priests quietly counsel contraception.

The station, owned by the New York Daily News, was accused by disgruntled former employees of distorting news shows with doctored film-a charge that WPIX denies and the FCC has yet to investigate. In Los Angeles, KHN-TV has been under FCC investigation since 1966, after businessmen...
