...REV. THEODORE M. HESBURGH, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME. Father Hesburgh brought a new approach to campus violence in February when he issued a carefully thought-out set of rules for handling demonstrators. His eight| page letter put students on notice that persons disrupting the campus would be warned, "given 15 minutes of meditation," then suspended if they did not desist. Hesburgh's initiative, which he took only after sounding out faculty, alumni and student groups, brought him quantities of favorable mail, including a letter from President Nixon that warmly endorsed his "forthright stand...
...Rotunda, the casket was returned to the cathedral for the funeral. Outside, the Marine Band struck up Hail to the Chief%#151;notes that were heard repeatedly during the five days-and eight pallbearers carried the casket down the aisle to the catafalque, draped in purple velvet. The Rev. Edward L. R. Elson, the Presbyterian minister who baptized Eisenhower in 1953 (Ike's parents were members of a Mennonite sect) and who was one of three ministers officiating, offered thanks "for his high vision of the better world toward which all men of goodwill strive...

Obviously, the problem for the Christian is to strike a balance in which death can be faced as the mystery it is, with neither false confidence nor excessive grief. Ideally, says the Rev. Dr. Albert J. Penner, president of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ, death should be accepted as "a natural part of existence, part of the bargain we make with life at birth...
From his point of view, the Pope had good reason for the outbursts. Although the Vatican has by now be come accustomed to the public defection of priests, it was shocked by the recent resignations of two young, promising bishops. In Chile, the Most Rev. Gabriel Larrain Valdivieso, 44, auxiliary to the Cardinal-Archbishop of Santiago, left the priesthood for secular humanitarian work. In Peru, Bishop Mario Cornejo Radavero, 41, auxiliary to the Cardinal-Archbishop of Lima, reportedly brought his cardinal to tears by resigning to marry. Priestly defections have even touched the Vatican itself, where an honored member...
