...year. The pros already think they have spotted one: Florida's Steve Spurrier, one of the sharpest college passers in the U.S.-with 133 completions in 206 attempts for 1,530 yds. as of last week, although his Gators lost to Georgia 27-10. The son of a Presbyterian minister, Spurrier, a C student, is apparently ticketed to the National Football League's New York Giants, provided that they are willing to pay his price: a reported $500,000.

In Canton, Ohio, a Roman Catholic priest is chairman of the local branch, and in Louisville, Ky., Fish is jointly sponsored by an Episcopal and a Presbyterian church.

In the 145-page second issue, published this month, Political Science Professor Louis Midgley of Brigham Young University presents a surprisingly sympathetic Mormon criticism of the late Paul Tillich's vision of a nonpersonal God. In another article...
Died. Arthur Bernard Langlie, 65, Republican politician and publisher, son of a grocer, who rose on the wave of a Seattle reform movement to become the only man to serve three terms as Governor of Washington State (1941-45, 1949-57), bringing parsimony and Presbyterian morality to the office, but lost a 1956 Senate race, retired from politics to a job as president and later chairman of McCall Corp.; of leukemia and a heart ailment; in Seattle...
