What a comparison between Atheist William McCarthy and Bishop William Manning [TIME, Nov. 28] ! The first, a fighter against God; the second, a fighter for God. I am sure that Bishop Manning was fully aware of hypocrisy in high places and evil deeds done in religion's name. But, with a firm belief in the basic goodness of Christianity, he fought and won his battles against evil. Unfortunately, too many of us are like William McCarthy. We see the evil in the church as a sign for us to step out and ridicule it from the outside. This...

...something like collective shame has grown and remained from those times.

If the principle is to stand, the University now must use all the power at its command to end these interferences with free inquiry made in the name of loyalty. It would be pointless, and harmful to military security, for the University to expel its excellent NROTC unit. But the University can help American higher education to save its vitality if it will demand that the Navy exempt all NROTC students from the present loyalty test...
