It met five times during his reign and never had any discernible effect on his thought or action. Last week a pillar of the conciliar generation, Belgium's Leo-Jozef Cardinal Suenens, said that carrying out the duties of the papacy is "humanly impossible."

Leaders of powerful police and fire fighters' lobbies jammed the committee chamber. So did the state's influential teacher and school lobbyists. Committee Member Leo McCarthy, speaker of the state assembly, passed up so many meals as the deadline neared that he had a severe allergic reaction to energy-sustaining almonds and had to be temporarily hospitalized.
