...College. "There is just man, man in God's image and likeness. Man in his totality was created and will be saved." Such theologians emphasize God's presence in the world. "God is the source of creativity and change and human selfhood," says Harvard's Harvey Cox. In sum, the process of salvation and damnation takes place on earth-not somewhere "out there...
...Augustine in 1964. By holding Bogalusa's do-nothing police in contempt, Louisiana's Judge Herbert Christenberry prevented a bloodletting among rights workers in 1965. Even rigidly segregated Plaquemines Parish fell to Christenberry's school-integration order in 1966, and Mississippi's foot-dragging Judge Cox now concedes that "segregation is completely out the window...
...outrage -- began to pursue the almost mystical notion that there is a frontier of American politics solely for Negroes, and that it is SNCC's to find.

The competition is sharp, especially since such established Homelies as Wally Cox, Jane Withers, Bert Lahr and Phyllis Diller have mugged their way into the act. A casting call for a street worker, for example, will attract 100 candidates, some lugging along shovels and jackhammers for that authentic look. But in the end, as the Homely homily has it, it's the face that launches a thousand...
