Norman Miller, the Wall Street Journal's Washington bureau chief, wrote last year: "Subtle and even blatant anti-Catholicism is surfacing again." In a 1977 book titled An Ugly Little Secret, Andrew Greeley, a priest-sociologist, called anti-Catholic bias the "last remaining unexposed prejudice in American life."

For to the north of L.A. lies San Francisco, a city almost universally loved in this country, even by those who have never been there. Mellow--everyone I met on the coast as I headed north told me the main thing about Frisco was how mellow it is.
