...told a group of Washington reporters last week that he may run as a "third force" independent for President.

In Groton, Mass., one-third of the 200 people who joined the church between 1761 and 1775 confessed to fornication. A small Maryland Episcopal church chastised 13 fornicators or adulterers in a single month. The fact that there were confessions and corrections shows that simple permissiveness did not prevail, but neither did simple virtue...
