"The groups we are dealing with today are not innocent, misinformed students," Sheriff Michael A, Amico of Erie County, New York, told the panel. "They know precisely what they are doing.

They seek him here, they seek him there, but Jesuit Priest Daniel J. Berrigan, 49, has become a sort of Scarlet Pimpernel of the antiwar underground.

Last year Criswell, pastor of the 15,000-member First Baptist Church of Dallas, inadvertently brought these trends to a head by publishing a book titled Why I Preach That the Bible Is Literally True.
