...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...

Some recent writings in France are even more adventuresome. Jacques Pohier, a Dominican at the Institut Catholique in Paris, says that "at the limit, it is an absurdity to say that God makes himself into man. God cannot be anything other than God." Father Pierre-Marie Beaude of the Center for Theological Studies in Caen thinks that early church leaders had to "murder their founding father Jesus" to develop into maturity, while Father Michel Pinchon, editor of the magazine Jésus, writes of his liberation from "idolatry" of Jesus, who "does not present himself...

Cassini, who wrote a gossip column for the Hearst papers under the name Cholly Knickerbocker, was suspected of illegally representing the Dominican Republic and Dictator Rafael Trujillo in the U.S. Perhaps because of his family's friendship with Cassini, Bobby Kennedy pursued him with extraordinary ferocity, afraid that he and his brother would otherwise be accused of favoritism...

...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.
