Toward the end of Morse's tenure, virtually any offer might have looked attractive. While most other law faculty members recently received salary increases, he was pointedly denied one. When the state bar association held its annual gathering in 1968, he was not invited to speak-though the Ole Miss law school dean is traditionally a major figure on the program. The trustees began screening his faculty appoint ments, vetoing some of the men he felt would be most valuable. Morse did little for his cause with his abrasive, arrogant approach toward the old guard. He called one influential...
...Witnesses who gathered last week in New York City's Yankee Stadium for an international assembly will not be a bit surprised. In fact, they fully expect the cataclysm of Armageddon within the next few years. The latest calculations of this energetic, eschatology-minded sect date the end of the world in autumn...
Fearful as it may be to other religious believers, the end is a prospect that rejoices the hearts of the 323,688 U.S. members of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, as the Witnesses are officially known (worldwide member ship: 1,155,826).

What is more, Christ's promise that "this generation will not pass away till all these things take place" means that...
...radical groups from Holland, Belgium and France, the priests called for three basic reforms: the right of clergy to take a more active part in political and social affairs, an end to the rule of priestly celibacy and democratic election of church leaders. They also wanted to sit in at the symposium to discuss these demands, but the bishops voted to bar the rebel priests. A handful of liberal bishops did, however, push through a motion authorizing them to meet privately and unofficially with "shadow symposium" participants...
