...that another council cannot be delayed." One obvious topic for the agenda would be a new ruling on contraception to reflect the consensus of the faithful. Another, suggests Theologian Gregory Baum of Toronto, would be a definition "of the limits of papal authority and the freedom to be given local churches." It is taken for granted by those who dream of Vatican III that priests and laymen would be represented, as well as bishops. Philosopher Novak half-seriously proposes that the proper setting would be the catacombs, rather than the baroquely splendid nave of St. Peter's. Unfortunately, Pope...
Last week, under the pressure of still another wave of disturbances, the new president, Robert R. Smith, former dean at S.F. State, had to close the college down completely. The new demonstrations by B.S.U. members and the local chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society were stirred up by the suspension of George Murray, 22, a part-time teacher and graduate student who is also minister of education for the Black Panthers.

With the help of a naive drum majorette (Tuesday Weld), he grandiosely plots to foil the sinister scheme. Their plans, of course, go haywire; so do they. The girl carelessly murders a nightwatchman at the factory, and discovers that killing is not only much less strenuous than high school band practice, it is-for her-much more fun besides. Perkins initially...
Visibly Vexed. Gorton flew back to Canberra visibly vexed and more determined to implement a policy that he calls "economic nationalism." Australians want foreign capital and investment. Indeed they desperately need it, since there has never been enough local money in a predominantly agricultural country to develop a large industrial capacity. Nonetheless, Gorton and his countrymen are distressed by the fact that foreign companies now have about $6 billion invested in Australia and own one quarter of all its commercial assets...
