Somehow, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen had never seemed an appropriate choice to head the diocese of Rochester, N.Y., with its 362,000 souls. Indeed, it was no secret in the church that the man once believed in line to succeed the late Francis Cardinal Spellman was restless and unhappy in his out-of-the-way post. As one friend expressed it: "After being on the heights of Mount Tabor all his life, the bishop found his Calvary in Rochester."

...Council of Economic Advisers from 1953 to 1956, he agreed to increases in Government spending and in the credit supply that his successor, Saulnier, thought were too expansionist. In early 1960, he advised Nixon, then Vice President, that federal spending should be increased and credit eased to head off a recession that he correctly warned would hit its low point shortly before Election Day. Nixon could not persuade the Eisenhower Administration to adopt the Burns program. In Six Crises, Nixon wrote that "unfortunately, Arthur Burns turned out to be a good prophet." Nixon has said in private that he would...
