...died before the war began, Bonhoeffer would have been remembered only as a dedicated young minister cut down before his time. But during his years of commitment to the underground, he matured from pastor to prophet. In his incomplete Ethics, he proposed a practical, person-centered morality based on love rather than law, which in some ways foreshadows today's "situation ethics" (TIME, Jan. 21). His most radical and prophetic ideas Bonhoeffer explored in the letters he wrote from Berlin's Tegel prison to his friend and fellow pastor, Eberhard Bethge. These reveal the vision...

...steadfastly maintain that they are the true spiritual heirs of Joseph Smith, and they have plenty of his progeny to bolster the claim. Although the Utah Mormons claim only one direct descendant of Smith, at least 190 are Reorganized Saints, and their President, W. Wallace Smith, 65, is the prophet's grandson. The Reorganized Saints hold to the belief that Joseph Smith, before his death, anointed his eldest son, Joseph III, to succeed him as the sect's leader. Young Joseph became President of the Reorganized Church in 1860, ruled it for 54 years, and was followed...
