When San Francisco-area Episcopalians chose the Right Rev. C. Kilmer Myers as Bishop of California last September, there was some hope that he might prove a little less of a headlinemaker than his resigning predecessor, James A. Pike. No such luck. Soon after he was elected bishop, Myers denounced the Episcopal Church for being guilty of "the heresy of racism." A fervent Viet Nam dove, Myers later attacked Francis Cardinal Spellman's statements supporting the war as "outrageous," and piously implored: "May God and Pope Paul forgive him."

...Brunswick, N.J., where Joyce Kilmer is said to have written his verses praising trees, a leading botanist last week blamed them for their role in one of civilization's greatest concerns: air pollution. At a biometeorological conference at Rutgers, University of Nevada Professor Frits Went stated flatly that trees foul the air with ten times more pollutants than all of man's fires, factories and vehicles...
