President Edman was not surprised when several students trooped up to the rostrum. Such impromptu declarations are not unusual at Wheaton, a little (1,500 students), nondenominational college which still bears the stamp of its strict fundamentalist heritage: no movies, smoking, card-playing, dancing or drinking, a 10 p.m. weekday curfew.

Last week in Italy, of all places, in Rome's Holy Year, of all times, some U.S. evangelists were hanging on to an embattled beachhead.

But his violent accusations of "modernism" and corruption against the leadership of his church soon earned him a painful formal expulsion from the Presbyterian fold. Ever since then, Carl McIntire has been on the outside looking in-and not liking much of what he sees...
