He contends that by taking funds out of a bank or selling shares in a company whose policies they may not approve, the churches lose their leverage to change the minds of corporation officials...

U.S. Steel Board Chairman Roger Blough is a leading Penguin, so is Investment Banker Robert Lehman, Novelist Paul Horgan, Poet Robert Lowell and opera-loving ex-Boxer Gene Tunney.

The defense involved the showing of models and color slides of gory operations, and the calling of big-name medical witnesses. A key issue was whether Dr. Stevenson had tried to get a licensed physician to assist him, at least in cases other than crash emergencies. Of the three cases before the jury, one was such an emergency. On this and one other count, the jury found both defendants not guilty...
