Most Los Angelenos have long since given up hope of beating the traffic snarls on the city's freeways. But here's one working girl has the system licked. Every morning, Kim Novak gallops down a bridle path alongside the Ventura Freeway aboard Big Sur, riding bareback ("I like feeling my horse under me-I can tell if he starts twitching and seems nervous") on her way to Warner Bros, studios. While alert drivers gawk, Kim turns into a side street that leads to the lot. There she tethers Big Sur, goes to star in The Great Bank...
...Michael Novak has defined this attitude toward church structure as "nonhistorical orthodoxy." It is not supported by an analysis of Christian origins. The papal claim to monarchic supremacy is based, in part, upon Jesus' words in Matthew 16:18: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." Today, the majority of New Testament scholars agree with the view of Bishop Francis Simons of India, who notes in his new book, Infallibility and the Evidence (TIME, Nov. 1) that the sentence simply singles out Peter as first among the Apostles and says nothing at all about...
...Another, suggests Theologian Gregory Baum of Toronto, would be a definition "of the limits of papal authority and the freedom to be given local churches."

While most pundits delivered weighty post-election analyses, Columnist Robert Novak provided one of the most memorable stories by going out on the beat at the precinct level.

Local politicians bar newsmen from the polls, but Novak got poll watcher's credentials from a friendly Republican, and these enabled him to observe what he calls "democracy, Chicago-style." Wrote Novak, in a column signed by himself and his partner, Rowland Evans: "What...
After they cast their ballots, many voters were given white chits by the precinct captains. Chit in hand, each voter then left the polling place and entered an alley. Novak did not follow for fear of his own safety, but he implied that Chicago still has the best voters that money can buy. This was the kind of performance that has come to be expected of the Evans-Novak team, which avoids pontificating and concentrates on examining the inner machinery of politics. Evans and Novak were not alone in discovering election irregularities in Chicago. The Chicago Daily News reported that...
