...good deal easier to love the movie, which succeeds on its own level as a full-out piece of entertainment. The actors-Braeden, Susan Clark, Gordon Pinsent, William Schallert-all perform with precision, and Director Joseph Sargent keeps things moving along at a pace more rapid than a galloping pulse. His camera eye is restless and intricate; he seems to have learned a great deal from John Frankenheimer. The real star of the show, however, is Colossus, portrayed by a real computer complex at Universal City studios. If it only can avoid typecasting, it has a solid future in show...
...Eugene Schallert reports that many priests think they leave to marry but actually leave for other reasons. His survey of ex-priests shows that nearly all of them zealously embraced the concepts of reform introduced by Vatican II. "The person opts for questioning instead of the ready answer, for 'this worldly' rather than 'other worldly' orientation, for personalism over absolutism. He is inclined toward change, but he believes no change is occurring. He finds he does not believe very deeply in the rules of the church." With that, says Schallert, he begins to ask, "Who am I?"

The church and the Jesuit structures were narrowing areas in which I could express my love." He resented the fact that when he said Mass, "people thought I was doing some kind of magic." After taking a leave from Loyola University of Los Angeles...
...first years that followed Vatican II, priests who abandoned their vocation often had a hard time. Shunned by former colleagues and sometimes even their families, they found employ ers suspicious of their past and their training inadequate for secular life. Sociologist Schallert learned that many had particular difficulty in adjusting to mature relationships with women: "Girls sometimes tell them, 'You act like a 14-year-old boy.' " Even wearing a necktie could be a trauma...
