...future of this nation requires some truthful and objective answers. If the 1959 morals arrest that is now revealed indicates Jenkins' vulnerability to Soviet blackmail during these years, and if this dangerous fact has been concealed by President Johnson, then the fitness of this Administration not only to govern but to defend this nation from its enemies must be examined...
...Vatican Council last week moved closer to the beginning of a vast change in both the spirit and structure of the Roman Catholic Church.

Thomas, 45, to head the Iowa area. A native of South Carolina, Bishop Thomas will have headquarters in Des Moines, govern 300,000 Methodists, all but 500 of them white. A few days earlier, in the Northeast, white Methodists also accepted Negro churches into their jurisdiction and appointed Bishop Prince Taylor Jr. of Baltimore to head a newly created New Jersey district. He will govern more than 600 churches with...
