...First adopted in the U.S. by the city of Los Angeles in 1903, the recall has been used to topple two mayors there and to unseat city officers elsewhere. Only North Dakota has ever ousted a Governor-Lynn Joseph Frazier, in 1921, because of a bank scandal. The same electorate sent him to the U.S. Senate the very next year...

Another Jesuit priest is about to marry. The society announced in New York City last week that the Rev. Joseph F. Mulligan, 48, former dean of Fordham graduate school, had asked to be released from his vows in order to marry. His fiancee is Patricia Plante, 36, who resigned last month as dean of Thomas More College, Fordham's four-year-old liberal arts branch for women. Unlike Sponga, who simply quit, Mulligan adhered strictly to church rules in such matters. Three months ago, he requested a leave of absence from his supe rior. He then, said the Jesuits...
