...Moortown, and because he is something of a golfing freak, the crowds at Muirfield followed him throughout the tournament. His swing is jerky, the face of his club twists sharply at the moment of impact. He lunges at the ball, moves his feet. When he putts, his forearms are parallel to the ground, the shaft perpendicular, the left elbow pointing to the hole, the hands within breathing distance of his stomach in a posture as of prayer.

Many Robbins-supporters believe that the Dean resigned because Bishop Manning, with whose high-church views Dean Robbins did not entirely hold, was "autocratic." Bishop Garland in Philadelphia is not "high church." But last week, many a Philadelphian, pondering the parallel, wondered if it was not a fear of "autocracy" that was keeping potential...
