Stollman is perplexed--and a little pleased--by the banned-in-Cambridge status of the Fugs. "These records are selling all over the country, even in deep-dyed--triple-dyed, if you please--Baptist, fundamentalist Texas. Everywhere except Cambridge." To capitalize on the publicity value of the ban, however, Stollman has to find a commercial organization to place the records on sale and so precipitate a test case to determine the legal status of the records. At present, he can't find any takers...
Chief William H. Parker was a crusty law-enforcement fundamentalist who spent 16 years building the Los Angeles Police Department into one of the best known, best paid and least corrupt in the U.S. There was a price though: a chilly distance between the cops and the slum Negroes that helped to start the 1965 Watts riots. When Parker died at 64 last July, Los Angeles set out to find a successor skilled in "community relations"-the art of enlisting citizens to help prevent crime, rather than relying on repression after it happens. Last week the city found...
Butch's casualness ends at the gym door. A fundamentalist who scoffs at patterned offenses ("I'd rather just play basketball") and fancy zone defenses ("In a man-to-man defense, you know exactly who makes a mistake"), he is, according to one Tiger player, "the best coach in basketball-from Monday through Friday."

A loss sends him into a paroxysm of frustration; even a victory leaves him wan and wet with perspiration. Not until the season is over...
...families, most of them from Tennessee, Texas and Alabama, have now settled in Stamford. While saving up to build their own house of worship, members of the Stamford Church of Christ gather for Sunday services at a public school. They have also been working hard to spread their fundamentalist interpretation of the Gospel. They have placed ads in the local paper announcing their services. A "dial-a-devotion" telephone number (322-9559), sponsored by the church, provides callers with a daily inspirational message on tape. Congregation members have rung 4,000 local doorbells, distributing literature and inviting people to their...
...demands of prison life, says Gilkey, frequently exposed the strict Protestant ethic as legaiism wrapped in hypocrisy. Many of his fellow prisoners were critical of the compound's fundamentalist ministers. On principle, they refused to lend their canteen cards to heavy smokers-but they would not hesitate to barter the cigarettes they got from the Red Cross for extra tins of food. Far more popular were the Roman Catholic missionaries, who generally displayed a spirit of freedom from material wants that enabled them to play a creative, neighbor-helping role in the community...
