Meyner-who will work part-time for an undisclosed salary-will have authority to filter out ads that are pitched to youngsters or suggest that smoking promotes success, social acceptance, health or virility. His first act was to put in a word for the sponsors: "I think it is rather remarkable that people with a great deal of self-interest have set up a code that goes so far. I feel it can be enforced."

In 1960, Girolamo Bortignon, Capuchin Bishop of Padua, began to complain to powerful friends in the Holy See that the activities in San Giovanni Rotondo would bear an investigation. Pope John sent an emissary, Msgr. Carlo Maccari, to the busy shrine with directions to set things in order. Maccari saw plenty that needed to be set in order. He saw the dread Spiritual Daughters squabbling over a cushion on which the padre had knelt, finally tearing...
