What Latin America needs in today's age of aspiration is a means of resolving the differences between the two factions in a way that would favor social progress while circumventing the old extremes of reaction and revolu tion. As spiritual mentor of both sides, the church could play a major role in achieving a reconciliation within its flock. But the truth is that the Latin American Catholic church has almost always been identified with the privileged powers, from the days when its priests went ashore with the conquistadors. As a result, there is widespread doubt that...
...Favor. Certainly, important elements of Nixon's emerging campaign strategy will appeal to conservative elements in the South, particularly his emphasis on the law-and-order issue.

He also hopes to prepare more students for these universities by accenting modern science and living languages, rather than classics and Latin, in the lycees (secondary schools...
Cultural Rebellion. Whether or not they favor pot, many clergymen condemn strict laws against its use. Dr. James Donaldson of the Los Angeles Council of Churches believes that the severe penalties "fall not only on gangsters but on young people experimenting with cultural rebellion." Others argue that antimarijuana laws are an unfortunate attempt to legislate morality. Like the laws of Prohibition, they feel, such laws are bound to be dropped from the books as more and more people come to accept pot as simply another of life's pleasures.
