...There's a new man around campus." Indeed there is. Last week Robert Joseph Wert, 45, a tall (6 ft. 3 in.), handsome former vice provost and dean of undergraduate education at nearby Stanford, was inaugurated the ninth president of the West's best-and almost only-nonsectarian liberal arts college for girls. He succeeds the retiring C. Easton Rothwell, who led the school for eight years...

Kavanaugh, who has technically been on leave from his diocese, will continue to serve as a marriage counselor at the nonsectarian Human Resources Institute in La Jolla, Calif. Davis is now a $16,000-a-year Visiting Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Alberta in Canada...

The assignees include the Salvation Army, and until recently counted the aging cardinal as a major holder...

Pressure is increasing from citizens' organizations such as the Roman Catholic National Organization for Decent Literature, the Protestant Churchmen's Committee for Decent Publications, and Citizens for Decent Literature, a nonsectarian organization that now has 300 chapters around the country. These groups are shrill, sincere, and sometimes self-defeating. When a Chicago court ruled three years ago that Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer could be sold locally, the C.D.L. flooded Chicago with excerpts of outrageous passages in the book, undoubtedly giving them wider circulation than they had ever...
