...methods were not producing enough lasting converts; Hoyt pointedly blamed his "watered-down Gospel." When he entered the Children of God, he took many of the Atlanta Jesus People with him. Linda Meissner, however, took far fewer of her Jesus People Army along-and indeed the feud between the mainstream Army (including Linda's husband John Salvesen) and her splinter group has scandalized Seattle's Jesus People...
...pledge to do so, and gave the impression that merely replacing Attorney General Ramsey Clark with a man like John Mitchell would work wonders. It did not; crime is still rising.

Father Murray's non-controversiality, his mainstream ideas, lack of enemies, and at least minimal contact with all the camps within the Church in large part reflect the reasoning behind his coming to St. Paul's.

What liberal Catholics have failed to see--and what the Fathers Berrigan and Thomas Merton and the Catholic Worker movement have--is that orthodox belief can lead very easily to a radical critique. Like the Kennedy liberals (a term...
What is really needed, many educators now say, is ways to help teachers cope with the special problems that ghetto children have in learning skills for survival in the nation's middle-class mainstream. The experts feel that a basic shortcoming of the American educational system is that?particularly in the ghetto?it has not faced up to the challenges of coping with students from widely divergent cultural backgrounds. "The schools of this country have traditionally been geared to meeting the needs of middle-class children," says California's Superintendent of Public Instruction Wilson Riles...
