Lonely Dissenter. Critics also charge sloppy legal draftsmanship in many decisions that have not so much outraged as confused. The Justices, notes Yale Scholar Alexander Bickel, have yet to come up with a workable definition of obscenity. The decisions curbing police abuses have been almost as murky, says Chicago Law Professor Philip Kurland. "After Escobedo," he quips, "you need Miranda, and after Miranda, we will need maybe twelve more decisions...
...Senator's campaign style remained as urbane and dispassionate as ever, even though the primaries were over and he now faces the arduous labor of trying to convert the convention delegates, mostly professional politicians, who are sympathetic or committed to Humphrey's camp.

A shade under medium height, conservatively sheared, dressed and spectacled, Goodman blends in perfectly with the traffic on Wall Street. He is the archetypal mild-mannered reporter who, in times of imminent...
...that the gifts are "God's answer to the hyperintellectualism of our age" and the cold impersonality of formal worship. Surprisingly, even some Roman Catholic participants at the Dayton conference were cautiously optimistic about the prospect of incorporating glossolalia and healing into the spirituality of their church. Biblical Scholar Barnabas Mary Ahern, a peritus (expert) at the Second Vatican Council, argued that glossolalia should be "running at the very heart of the church," since "the life of the church is the life of the spirit...
