Biden may have had Nancy Pelosi to thank for the fact that the bishops were already on a hair-trigger alert. Two weeks earlier on the same program, Brokaw had posed the same question to Pelosi, who had refused to answer. "Over the history of the Church," she insisted, "this is an issue of controversy." It is true that lay and church scholars engaged in a vigorous debate in the 1960s over the acceptability of contraceptive use before Pope Paul VI ended the discussion by reiterating official Church opposition to birth control.

...awash with spattered Day-Glo clothing and hipster aloofness, the band of the moment dress in black and embrace their emotions with astonishing honesty. But what's this cream-colored cocktail in the hand of lead singer James Allan as he sits - black shoes, black Ray-Bans, black vertical hair - in the windowless bar of a posh London hotel? "Hey, don't box me!" says Allan, with a smile as unexpected as the banana breeze he's sipping...
