...antibusing marchers toted American flags and a coffin inscribed DEATH OF FREEDOM as they massed outside the state capitol to hear City Councilman Howard Carwile denounce progressive Governor Linwood Holton as "gutless, spineless, no good," a man who made him "think of euthanasia." The Rev. John Spong, the esteemed rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and a cousin of Democratic U.S. Senator William Spong Jr., took to the pulpit last week to label Carwile's remarks as "the cheap shot of an insensitive politician."

The university's student body consists of 3,000 foreign students, mostly from the non-Communist developing nations, and 1,000 Russians. Its vice rector is a major general in the KGB secret police; his job on campus is to screen out "undesirable" elements and watch for prospective recruits. If a student is among the several dozen chosen for guerrilla training, he receives special courses and favors and may discover that he has become irresistible to pretty Russian...
Around the Neck. For most of his adult life, Kinsolving, 43, has been an advocate. His first career, before entering the seminary, was in advertising and public relations. Two years after his ordination, while rector of a parish in Pasco, Wash., he burst into national news in 1957 by preaching that "Hell is a damnable doctrine." Later he became a lobbyist for Bishop lames Pike in California, charged, among other tasks, with persuading the state's legislators to vote for liberalized abortion laws. During his career as a lobbyist, he began writing for the San Francisco Chronicle. After Pike...
