Galloping to the Rescue? That combination of rebelliousness and goodhearted naivete is a mark of many Catholic radicals?who have a heritage of enthusiastic intrigue against conservative superiors. Even friends express dismay that so many priests and nuns caught up in the resistance often go about their plotting with the same conspiratorial breathlessness that they once brought to underground liturgies or challenging institutional rules. When the cops-and-robbers bustlings of the people around Philip Berrigan contributed to his early capture last year in a Manhattan church rectory, one weary bystander dismissed them as "lollipop revolutionaries."

He lamented: "In the days of its glory Le Pavilion was the ultimate French restaurant . . . The waiters now seem to collide with less grace than they did in former days...
...with considerable dismay that I read (CRIMSON, December 5, 1970) about additional portents of the incipient demise of the Soc Rel department at Harvard. Such an event would be unfortunate in itself and an unfortunate sign of the continuing failure of American universities in general and Harvard in particular to even begin to come to terms with the peculiar problems of the Geisteswissenschaften...
