...Powers parish of the '60s and '70s has become a beleaguered sanctuary, attacked on one side by the new breed from the seminary. Carrying guitars, speaking at sensitivity sessions, Powers' young priests yearn to say Mass with a beer mug or a coffee cup. They march to a canting faith that "religion (though not perhaps as we know it) is the coming thing," that "the clergy (though not perhaps as we know them) are the coming men." As if the counterculture crusaders were not cross enough for the old guard to bear, ignoramuses and half believers...

Ah, yes, we think, as we watch George's tumescence, very similar to the swelling of CREEP's campaign funds. A pair of legs spreading apart, we realize, is quite analogous to the hairy palm of a politician opening up to receive a bribe. As we watch George...
