...during the idyllic optimism of the McCarthy spring, this unlikely group came to the unlikely town of Catonsville, outside Baltimore, to bear witness to the value of life, a strange act for Americans. an even stranger act for members of the church of Cardinal Spellman. They walked into the offices of Local Board No. 33, seized several hundred I-A files, and carried them outside, where they placed them in a wire trashburner. They then poured napalm over the files (made from a recipe in a Special Forces manual-"two parts gasoline one part soap bakes") and destroyed them. Then...
...chamber is more than plaques, scrolls and citations. There are photographs of all Roy's friends with autographs: Ronald Reagan in his Ten Gallon Hat sends his regards; best wishes from Everett Dirksen, J. Edgar Hoover, Cardinal Spellman, and Cardinal Cooke, and finally a photograph of Nixon and Roy at a banquet, Dick whispering paternal advice to Roy. (Nixon is presently trying to remove Morgenthau as District Attorney, astonishingly enough...
Somehow, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen had never seemed an appropriate choice to head the diocese of Rochester, N.Y., with its 362,000 souls. Indeed, it was no secret in the church that the man once believed in line to succeed the late Francis Cardinal Spellman was restless and unhappy in his out-of-the-way post.

Caricaturist Sorel's first cover for TIME on the leading candidate for mayor of New York City gives him one more opportunity to indulge a favorite pastime: "Making faces at some sacred cows." Earlier targets of his pointed pen have included Billy Graham, Cardinal Spellman, Lyndon B. Johnson, President Nixon and Frank Sinatra. Sorel's depiction of New York mayors past, present and possibly future is derived from Eugène Delacroix's painting of Liberty Leading the People. On the left, gazing up at Procaccino, is Mayor John Lindsay. Former Mayor Robert...
...content to be a political kingmaker, Franklin D. Roosevelt fancied himself a prince-of-the-church maker as well. He lobbied successfully for Francis Spellman's appointment as archbishop of New York, and in 1939, when Chicago's George William Cardinal Mundelein died, F.D.R. had his hand-picked candidate for the nation's largest archdiocese. This time he failed. Chicago Auxiliary Bishop Bernard James Sheil, the Roosevelt choice, was bypassed because he had irritated too many others inside and outside the church. Last week, after Sheil's death at 83 of heart disease, friends attending...
