Chairman Butler's effort to mend things came after a flood of vengeful rumors (e.g., that he was trying to steal the presidential nomination) and a new outbreak of demands that he be fired.

Friday evening he orated steadily from 10 o'clock to 5 a.m. Finally on Sunday afternoon, ashen-faced with fatigue but crisp and erect as ever, Moslem Kassem strode into Baghdad's Roman Catholic Church of St. Joseph...
