...inspire similar projects elsewhere. At least four other U.S. cities are planning their own versions of Brandeis, according to Bardin. A similar setup for European Jews-possibly in Denmark-is also contemplated, and even one in Israel. In Los Angeles, the Rev. James Jones, black minister of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, is searching out land and backers for a black Brandeis. He and other Bardin admirers think that the idea could be useful as well for Mexican Americans, Indians and other U.S. ethnic groups...

Sociologist Andrew Greeley calls Catholic Pentecostalism the "most vital movement in Catholicism right now," but warns that it could become "just pure emotion, even a form of hysteria." The Rev. George Peters of the United Presbyterian Church says of the Jesus People: "I see dangers. This biblical literalism. The kids quote verses without understanding them to prove a point.

...primaries were State Senate President John Mathews, Attorney General Earl Faircloth and Dade County Mayor Chuck Hall, three of the best-known men in the state. In a high-rolling state that likes politicos with pizazz, Askew is a nonsmoking teetotaler who devotes most of his spare time to Presbyterian Church activities. Further, he ran on a platform of substantial tax reform that would cost big business many of its traditional tax breaks, and he chose as his running mate for Lieutenant Governor a man who had already announced his political retirement in the face of $100,000 in unpaid...
