...independent group that has tangled with the cardinal before. The association's leaders declared, "In the ultimate analysis, we are not working for Cardinal Cody. We work for the Lord and for his people, especially for the poor." The protest was joined by acid-penned Sociologist and Journalist Father Andrew Greeley, who wrote in the July-August issue of the association's newsletter that Cody is a "madcap tyrant who has been imposed upon us ... Manly, forthright and honest dialogue" has failed, he said, and all that can be hoped for now is Cody's removal...
EPHRON STARTED out thinking she was "temperamentally suited" to be an objective reporter, a witness to events. But "now things have changed. I would still hate to be described as a participatory journalist; but I am a writer and I am a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict." Perhaps the problem is that the women's movement, by its very nature so bound up with emotions and subjective reactions, is an impossible subject to report on objectively--and that goes for mate reporters as well as female ones. In any case. Ephron's journalistic method...
...since June 13, belching forth morale-boosting obscenities, and writing lively front-page impressions of such local scenes as an unnamed bureaucrat's failed seduction of a coworker. Breslin will be followed next month by Sportscaster Dick Schaap, and in the fall by Writer Nora Ephron and New Journalist Tom Wolfe.

This first large life of Shelley since 1940 offers a "darker and more earthly, crueler and more capable figure." Richard Holmes, a British journalist, believes that if the writer was "essentially unstable," he was also the most premonitory radical theorist of his age. During a short life, Shelley either advocated or dabbled in vegetarianism, communal living, free love and the redistribution of wealth. Bisexuality as well as homosexuality intrigued him, and he championed women's rights. When war was still glamorized, he raged: "Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does...
Rigorous Scrutiny. Now the academicians of science have finally come under rigorous-and embarrassing -public scrutiny. In a carefully documented book, The Brain Bank of America: An Inquiry into the Politics of Science (McGraw-Hill; $10.95), which was published last week, Journalist Philip Boffey reports the bias and lethargy behind the marble facade of the academy's Washington, D.C., headquarters. Created by Congress in 1863 to provide impartial scientific counsel to the Government, the 1,000-member academy and its hundreds of committees provide guidance on many critical questions-from food additives to automotive emissions. In this important assignment...
