Troy had a perfectly good political reason for what he did; Queens is heavily Roman Catholic, and Troy fears that Nixon may do well there in November because he has courted the Catholic vote. "Nixon has done everything but serve Mass," Troy says. Ted Kennedy's motives were harder to read. In fact, Kennedy has kept the possibility of a candidacy this year alive until now in order to hang on to as much clout as possible, inside the Senate and out. Only last week, he appeared with House Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills to push his compulsory...
...players seem at home on it. This leads up to a massive wall in the rear, which opens to varying widths to allow the entrance of people or light. Place is indicated by a few pieces of furniture or props--notably a huge suspended silver eagle, symbol of Roman military; and a marvelous sculptured group of three draped and faceless figures, which adorns Brutus's garden...
Some groups, including Orthodox Jews, still oppose both post-mortem examinations and dissection, but most Reform and Conservative Jews favor the idea, as do many Roman Catholics.

England is experiencing such a resurgence of witchcraft and other occult dabbling that an ecumenical commission of Anglicans and Roman Catholics recently recommended that each diocese appoint an official exorcist to drive out demons.

Kelly, 31, a former Roman Catholic who is a manuscript editor of physics textbooks, generally follows a variety of witchcraft called Gardnerian, after a retired British customs official, Gerald Gardner, who formulated it in England in the 1940s. Gardnerian witchcraft is what Occult Debunker Owen Rachleff calls "library witchcraft": it seems to have been largely concocted from books, perhaps combined with some rudimentary witchcraft practices of existing covens in the Hampshire hills. Kelly himself is one of the founders of a Gardnerian spin-off called...
