Almost as short (5 ft. 7½ in.), at least as well padded (187 Ibs.), and even more cheerful than most of the Eskimos he serves, Jesuit Llorente, 51, is a maverick candidate-a write-in whose bishop almost forced him to resign. He is also a maverick priest. For 14 years, he has served as an official marriage counselor-first appointed by the territorial court, now by the new state's Supreme Court. As state official he cannot refuse to marry anyone legally free to marry. And however invalid they may be in the eyes of his church...

Poling and Socialist (and onetime Presbyterian Minister) Norman Thomas...
...does not have a solution of the vast problem of "consensus," which he defines, and who does? But he does have a formula. Murray the Jesuit is sure there is today no dynamic philosophy for Americans to live by. No consensus. But he is equally sure that there must be again, as there was when our freedom was born and when the Founding Fathers began building this Republic, such a comprehensive dynamic, soul-possessing philosophy-an American consensus...
