...friends has his own hangup. A Negro known as "the queen of spades" suffers rejection because of his unrequited love for a heterosexual white boy. One couple is undergoing an emotional rift: one partner is faithful while the other is promiscuous. There is also an outrageously effeminate guest (Cliff Gorman) who brings a flamboyant birthday gift-a dumb hustler (Robert La Tourneaux) who looks like a slightly tarnished Greek god and costs $20 for the night...
...devised by Dr. Vincent J. Freda and Dr. John G. Gorman of Columbia University, working with Dr. William Pollack of Ortho Research Foundation, the new technique is to vaccinate the mother immediately after the birth of her first Rh-positive child with a blood fraction containing other people's anti-Rh antibodies. These stifle development of a lifelong "active" immunity and in stead provide her system with a short lived "passive" immunity, and her system is far less likely to develop virulent antibodies. So far, reports Ortho, of 825 women treated with the fraction, only one became sensitized...
Since the Paulists had been acting all along with the approval of Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas K. Gorman of Dallas-Fort Worth, there was considerable shock in local church circles last month when he abruptly fired them from his diocese.

Because "one project after another had been abandoned, basically for lack of financial support," said Gorman, he "reluctantly" decided...

Mindful of the Paulists' ecumenical pioneering, a number of Protestant ministers wrote to the bishop asking him to reverse the decision. "What Bishop Gorman has done," said the Rev. Robert Matheny of Richardson's First Christian Church, "is like a football team that has driven all the way down the field, has a first down and goal to go on the five-yard line, and punts." The Paulists' superior general, the Very...
Since the Paulists' ouster, delegations from their parish have met twice with the bishop, who refuses to reverse the decision. What most disturbs supporters of the four priests is their conviction that Gorman's explanation, whether justified or not, skirts another reason for the firing: the interfaith popularity of the Paulists had proved too much for the 75-year-old bishop and other ardent Romanists in his diocese...
