President Johnson has also divined the latent obstacles, and in his State of the Union address he pointedly avoided several prickly proposals that could stir up the membership.

The spoons have sculptured knops at the end of their handles, portraying the saints. Each Apostle bears his symbol, or the tools of his martyrdom: St. John holds a cup symbolic of the poisoned wine he was ordered to drink; St. Bartholomew is shown with a knife to signify his being flayed alive; St. Simon carries the saw that sundered...
