...bishops cannot persuade skeptical Catholics to join their stand against nuclear arms, both the White House and nuclear-freeze advocates believe that they can become a potent force in shaping and influencing what is likely to become an increasingly important political issue in the months ahead. Says Archbishop Oscar Lipscomb of Mobile, 51, with some trepidation: "We are going to divide America over this issue. But the people of America have shown resilience. They can work through it and heal...
...Lipscomb and many other bishops talk of the need to begin a dialogue on the issue of the morality of nuclear arms.

Lipscomb throws himself into Harlan's impotent pettiness with a vigor that is sometimes hard to watch. It may alienate...
...means of livelihood for a number of Black musicians, including Leonard Jeter (1881-1970); Donald White (b. 1925), a long-time member of the Cleveland Symphony; and Earl Madison (b. 1945), who joined the Pittsburgh Symphony's cello section at 19. We shall doubtless hear more of Ronald Lipscomb, who like Marcus Thompson made a strong impression at the recent Washington competition...
