...closely tied to their staffs to be able to handle complaints thoroughly. Most critics of the press agree with James Atwater, a former TIME senior editor who is dean of the University of Missouri School of Journalism. Says Atwater: "We need much more self-examination and a whole flock of ombudsmen. This is a very heady business, and we need a moral compass...
Since the Most Rev. Raymond ("Dutch") Hunthausen became Archbishop of Seattle in 1975, his flock of 287,000 has become accustomed to such unusual rituals. The Vatican has been inundated with complaints from conservative parishioners, including one from the parents of the man whose coffin was decorated with balloons.

Surrounded by a flock of aides and reporters, he and his wife pushed a cart through their local supermarket picking up provisions recommended by nutritional experts. The millionaire farmer reported that there were only a few minor hitches in living on this allotment for a week: "The family crisis was when the dog ate the biscuits. But that could happen to any family, rich or poor." Critics countered that...
