...ministers are in need of pastoral counseling because of frustration in their jobs, estimates the Rt. Rev. Chandler W. Sterling. Properly appalled by this gloomy statistic, Bishop Sterling is now planning what he hopes will become a nationwide rehabilitation program for troubled clergymen, to be known as PARDON.* A dropout from the diocesan ministry himself, Sterling, 57, resigned last October as Bishop of Montana because he felt "completely frustrated in my work." A zealous Christian activist, he was discouraged by the failure of Montana Episcopalians to support such measures as laws against racial discrimination in housing, and the organization...
Take François, a sort of negative hippie, a dropout from life. He has left his teaching job and lives aimlessly in a provincial city. His is a regimen of compulsive torpor in which nothing matters. He breaks up with his girl, vegetates, carelessly sets his room afire, goes pointlessly and without remorse to confession, commits a senseless murder, makes up lists of the names of cars that go by. His life is hallucinatory and also quite literally his hell...
...Notable Dropout. The very men who most fervently endorsed his domestic programs were largely those who most passionately deplored his commitment in Viet Nam. They felt that, as Yale Economist James Tobin, a former presidential adviser, put it, "the butter to be sacrificed because of the war always turns out to be the margarine of the poor."

Said Michigan's former Democratic State Chairman Zoltan Ferency, who quit over Johnson's war policies: "The youth, the academicians, the women, the intellectuals they are dropping out of politics, they are turned off." A notable dropout was liberal Pundit Walter Lippmann, long since disaffected with L.B.J., who went so far as to declare that it would be in the "national interest" for the Johnson Democratic Party to "be ousted by a rejuvenated Republican Party." Notes TIME'S Washington Bureau Chief John L. Steele: "Historical generalizations are dangerous...
...hands are joining in Ramparts salutes these days. Conspicuously absent is Principal Stockholder and onetime Publisher Edward Keating, who was discovered "plotting" against the magazine last spring, as his detractors put it. The latest dropout is another major stockholder, Martin Peretz, 28, a Harvard lecturer in government who has contributed substantially to the magazine as well as to other New Left causes. He is also married to Anne Farnsworth, a Singer Sewing Machine heiress...
