...Exalt ye citizens of the secular state, for the Roman Catholic Bishops of the U.S., supposedly in communion with the See of Peter, have essentially repudiated the legitimate teachings of the Roman Pontiff [Nov. 22]. Who knows, these enlightened individuals may next choose to elect their own "assistant Pope" who somehow will share the teaching authority of the Pontiff. And someday the Church of Rome may be declared to be nothing more than a schismatic sect...
Like a Phoenix. Thus last week, for the 29th time since World War II, Italy lapsed into governmental crisis. On the surface, this crisis seemed a bad one, with no solution in sight. "Siamo pronti per i colonnelli" ("We are ready for the colonels"), cried a young Roman in disgust at the nation's squabbling politicians.

As principal stockholder of Circus Circus, he is counting on the casino's being so different that everybody who visits Las Vegas will have to stop in once out of plain curiosity. And if the carnival atmosphere drives off the high...
There were reasons for the voters' stinginess. Steel plants in the heavily industrialized city were operating below normal levels, Roman Catholics were hard-pressed to support their own parochial schools, elderly residents with no stake in education were feeling the pressures of inflation. Surprisingly, two radio talk shows on which citizens aired their grievances hurt the school cause. "All the ding-a-lings called in to spread their ignorance and misinformation-and people believe all those nuts because they hear it on the radio," complained one school official. Some callers, for example, falsely claimed that the school board...
