...conservatives: Philadelphia's John Cardinal Krol, St. Louis' John Cardinal Carberry and Co-Adjutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne of St. Paul and Minneapolis, one of the principal critics of the Armbruster report and a major figure in the 1969 resignation of his liberal auxiliary. Bishop James P. Shannon (TIME, Feb. 23, 1970). The alternates-San Francisco's Archbishop James T. McGucken and Hartford's Whealon-are scarcely more moderate. Since seven of the church's eleven U.S. episcopal regions voted that celibacy be discussed at the synod, the delegates will at least go to Rome...
FROM a door of Chicago's cavernous McCormick Place came the glorious skirl of bagpipes and the thunderous roll of drums. Smartly clad in black jackets and Kennedy tartan kilts, the Eleventh Ward Shannon Rovers began their march down the 600-ft.-long red carpet. The walls reverberated to the strains of the Garry Owen march, the favorite tune of the guest of honor, the present and almost certainly future mayor of the city of Chicago-Richard J. Daley...
...Trusting. Within a few days after the bills were introduced, large purchases of shares in National Bankers Life Insurance Co. stock were made by Governor Smith; Gus Mutscher, speaker of the state house of representatives; Elmer Baum, head of the Democratic state executive committee; State Representative Tommy Shannon, who introduced the legislation; and W.S.

...Governor Smith and Baum, who, buying shares and selling them at the inflated price, netted $125,000 between them. Speaker Mutscher said that he eventually lost money because he bought back in, but on his original purchase he is said to have made between $50,000 and $100,000. Shannon cleared $30,000, and Heatly $34,000. The SEC documents did not list a specific profit for Sharp. But he benefited by having the use of some of the Jesuits' funds during the frequent dealings between them. Also, his enterprises would have been in line for a windfall...
Governor Emmett Shannon is a mick manque who goes to Mass only when the press is present. His battle with a contracting czar over the grafting of parking facilities onto Boston's tiny, jewel-like Public Gardens is neither as funny nor as deadly as it should be. Still, Edward Sheehan is expert at mapping the social-climbing customs of the local clans. Irish civic life-with its blend of the sacred and profane, its flouting of the separation between church and state -is the author's real subject. The Emmett Shannons of the world still have their...
