Simple and sincere, the informal Eucharist was identical to countless others celebrated by the Christian Layman's Experimental Organization, a group of thoughtful Roman Catholics in New Jer sey, who gather regularly to study, pray and worship. How long they will remain Catholics in good standing is now problematical: this month Bishop George W. Ahr of Trenton stripped the organization's priest-adviser, Father George Hafner, of his right to say Mass and hear confessions, and threatened him with excommunication for conducting illegal worship services. Hafner has vowed to carry on as spiritual guide to CLEO. Says Hafner...

For a $30,000 salary, plus $70,000 for research assistants, the adventurous Roman Catholic university got Canada's self-styled Mind-Massager Marshall McLuhan, 56, to come down for a year's guest professorship.

...much domestic bliss would be hard on any man. For Sergio Masini, first violinist in a Roman symphony orchestra, it is literally a labor of love: he adores all three of his families and is scrupulously fair to each. Giulia (Renee Longarini) is his legal wife; Adela (Maria Grazia Carmassi), a onetime opera singer, became his mistress when he began to console her for her cracking voice; and Marisa (Stefania Sandrelli) is a young country girl who fell in love with him at a concert and followed him to Rome. Each of them gets nine phone calls a day from...
