STRANGE as it seems in the space age, the supposed reality of psychic phenomena continues to fascinate modern men. Although trained in the cold logic of the law before he became a theologian, resigned Episcopal Bishop James A. Pike is convinced that he has had telepathic talks with his dead son.

The trooper watching the sppeeding radar on the Conn Pike hears the beginning of "Honey" by Bobby Golsboro on the radio, which distracts him from someone doing 85 in the passing lane. You're doing 73 in the middle lane; but you're next. When you get a ticket, you shrink your ego: to minimize the penalty you go humble and let the cop score his subconscious anthropological victory by asserting himself over you. On an emotional level, you feel...
