...first glance, they seem an unlikely combination. Slim, suave, well-tailored Rowland Evans, 45, is the very model of a cosmopolitan correspondent. Swarthy, slangy, excitable Robert Novak, 35, often acts like a Chicago police reporter.

Novak traces the development of 20th century Catholic theology and literature, has gained his greatest student following with a course that explores the practical consequences of commitments to faith and atheism...
