Champion and three others--Seymour Martin Lipset, professor of Government and Social Relations; Samuel H. Beer, professor of Government; and Howard Raiffa, Frank Ramsey Professor of Managerial Economics--organized a Faculty study group on "Decision-Making by Candidates in a Contested Political Campaign...

Ramsey finds a certain irony in the fact that the secularist syndrome is prevalent among Protestants, who are now seeking "to assume decisions that belong in the realm of the state." Ramsey argues that "not even the 'magisterium...
