Confusing the Faithful. Father O'Donoghue was singled out for suspension because of his handling of a subsequent pastoral letter from the Cardinal urging the faithful to accept the Pope's teaching in the encyclical. After reading the letter from the pulpit at Sunday Mass, O'Donoghue went on to quote from the Catholic University statement and from several European prelates who have emphasized the role of conscience in the birth control question. The Cardinal showed up at the St. Francis de Sales rectory, accused O'Donoghue of "insubordination" and "disturbing and confusing the faithful...
...fishing boat's pulpit stood the intrepid harpooner, dart-tipped pole in hand. Down flashed the steel into a huge sperm whale. After that came a battle off Cape Finisterre that lasted several hours, reported Madrid's daily ABC, and when all the thrashing and splashing were over, Spain's Francisco Franco, 75, had landed himself a 48,000-lb. trophy.

He helped prod New York's Mayor Fiorello La Guardia into closing down the strip joints and driving their operators out of town. For his campaign against "coddlers" of crime, he won plaudits from FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover. His activities brought fame...
Unless Abernathy settles down to some long-range planning in place of the pulpit vagaries he has relied upon so far, he could conceivably be supplanted-or the organization could follow its founder to the grave. For the time being, though, Abernathy is plainly relishing his new position. "We are going to stay in Washington," he declares repeatedly, "until Congress decides to put an end to poverty in this country...
