...Chief Executive for her course on "the American President," Lynda Bird Johnson reported that it was "awfully good" to be back at the University of Texas for her senior year after two worrisome, unprivate semesters at George Washington University just down the street from the White House. But Sister Luci Johnson, 18, still commuting to school from her folks' place on Pennsylvania Avenue, found the whole thing a little scary as she put on her freshman beanie to begin studies at Georgetown University's School of Nursing.

Last month an Ecumenical Commission of Roman Catholic bishops and theologians, at a historic dialogue with Episcopal clergy in Washington, agreed that conditional baptism should be discouraged. If nothing else, the furor over Luci's rebaptism ought to help the word get around. By spotlighting the fact that "baptism is the one sacrament that unites all Christians," said Episcopal Dean Francis B. Sayre of the Washington Cathedral, "Luci innocently made a contribution to the ecumenical movement...
