...rectify any misapprehensions that the work of the staff was myopic or that miscreants were found only among those endeavoring to re-elect President Nixon." But far more examples of Republican skulduggery were uncovered. Indeed, the report cited only two instances of questionable practices by Democratic Nominee George McGovern's campaign: neglecting so far to pay a total of $35,322 owed to 37 corporations for various goods and services, and transferring $340,417 in leftover funds to his current campaign for reelection to the Senate...
...James Hitchcock, 36, Renaissance-history professor at St. Louis University, is Communio's editor. A political liberal (he backed George McGovern) and disillusioned church reformer, Hitchcock has become perhaps the most effective spokesman for the conservatives. He is respected enough on the Catholic left to be welcome in such remaining progressive journals as the Jesuit weekly America, the Critic and the National Catholic Reporter. But his attacks on liberals can be acerbic. In his 1971 book, The Decline and Fall of Radical Catholicism, Hitchcock lists no fewer than 26 "heretical notions" of Catholic radicals, including several that strongly reflect...

...foreign report was even worse. Population growth, compounded by serious droughts in Africa and Asia, has literally eaten up all the increased food output achieved by poor nations over the past decade, leaving their citizens as ill fed as ever, the experts found. To bridge the gap, McGovern recommended that the U.S. set up a $20 billion "Plowshares for Peace" program that would build stockpiles of food for needy nations to draw on. That is another idea that seems unlikely to be adopted: Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, who will present the Nixon Administration's proposals for solving world food...
