...Roman Catholic Church. Yet, as the battle grows hotter, militant partisans of integration are troubled by signs that the Catholic position may be weakening. Speaking to the first National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice at Chicago's Loyola University last week, Chicago's Auxiliary Bishop Raymond P. Hillinger said flatly that those who fail to accept the church's stand for full racial equality "simply are not Catholic, and there are no two ways about it." But the 400 delegates found many a straw in the wind that seemed to be blowing the wrong way. Items...
...truly proud ship was the heavy cruiser Indianapolis. Before World War II, she had served as an ocean-going White House for Franklin Roosevelt. She had flown the four-star flag of Admiral Raymond A. Spruance and had fought in many a Pacific battle. As July 1945 drew to a close, Indy had just steamed 2,091 miles from the Farallons to Diamond Head at a record-breaking, rivet-loosening 28 knots.

Focal character of The Naked and the Dead is Lieut. Robert Hearn (Cliff Robertson), a wealthy, well-educated ex-playboy who has been taken as an aide by General Cummings (Raymond Massey) during the invasion of a Pacific island. The general coddles Hearn as he would a favorite son-and tries to sting home his belief that power is everything, that the way to achieve power is by instilling fear. "I make [a soldier] more afraid of me than he is of the enemy," he boasts. "It makes him fight a little harder...
