Some say that the task is impossible and simply dismiss it; others have decided, like Hollander, that the only answer is broadly based training that equips a churchman to comprehend the clamorous needs of today's world.

Now, teamed with Bridges, he gives the liveliest performance of his career as an agnostic Catholic and whoremaster-repentant whose right hand has not consulted his left for 40 years. The pro and the amateur barge around the gaudy streets of a meticulously reconstructed 1910 Chicago, hungry for trouble. Ben treats each new experience as if he were staring down the well of life. One time he falls in and drowns. But if life is a cheat, death is a double-dealer...
