...instead of "God's complete presence in the human person Jesus Christ." Canadian Theologian Bernard J.F. Lonergan later said that Schoo-nenberg's book could lead to the logical (and heretical) conclusion that Jesus was "a man and only a man." The other important Dutch liberal is Dominican Edward Schillebeeckx, whose first volume on Christology will be published in English by Seabury later this year. The elliptical book describes Jesus as a human being who gradually grew closer...

...fact, says Nizer, the Government's case was based on a suspicious but innocent transfer of funds between the man who did represent the Dominican Republic and Cassini. Any jury, he says, would have found for the defendant. Nizer pointed out the flimsiness of the Government's position to Jack Kennedy, who was shocked when Cassini's wife cracked under the strain and killed herself. Both Jack and Joe Kennedy urged mercy for Igor, but Bobby persisted. Finally, Nizer realized that Bobby had gone so far as to have the FBI tap his phone conversations with...
