Ethnic Vote. In style, the two candidates could hardly be more different. A portly, genial, old-fashioned pol from Chicago, Howlett last year backslapped his way through 260 functions around the state; he is running at an even brisker pace this year. Though Walker is moving even faster, he is deceptively low-keyed at factory gates and bowling alleys: "Need your vote. Don't forget." He is working hard to slice off some of Chicago's ethnic vote, which is usually safe for Daley's candidate. Walker charges that no member of the Polish community has been...
...Catholic Church in Oakland, Calif. Similar notices have appeared-or soon will-in Catholic churches in the U.S. and round the world. They herald a quiet but significant revolution for Catholics, who will henceforth be allowed to choose between old-fashioned anonymous confession and the new face-to-face-style sacrament. While it will remain an option, as will the modified form of a screen set in an open room, the traditional cramped confessional box could gradually become a relic...
...confession takes longer than the traditional rite-15 or 20 minutes v. five or so-and is more demanding for priests and parishioners. But where it has been tried, the option seems popular. While some older Catholics find the open style uncomfortable, many younger parishioners seem to feel, in the words of one California seventh grader, that "it makes much more sense than going in and talking to a wall." Theologically, the old liturgy "evolved into a rite of fear and guilt, emphasizing sin more than God's love and mercy," says Father John Tivenan of St. Catherine...
...have been grumbling ever since their government tapped Britain's Queen Elizabeth for the honor. Now, at least, they can claim victory in a minor skirmish over the Queen's visit. It seems that the royal yacht Britannia, which will carry Her Majesty to Montreal, has old-style lavatories that empty directly into the waves. Royal flush or no, that is a violation of the St. Lawrence Seaway's antipollution laws, ruled Canada's Ministry of Transport. Denying the Royal Navy's pleas for an exception, the Canadians then flew a modern pushbutton, chemical commode...
While cities struggle with their problems, the receiving areas of the Sunbelt and the countryside do need not some grand federal plan but a cooperative effort among citizens, business and local government to assure sensible and orderly growth. Without that, the shelf life of the new American life-style could wind up being roughly that of a Big Mac. Careful zoning will help, of course, along with a willingness to tax the people sufficiently to pay for necessary public services. As taxes rise, the flow of new migrants may decrease. A dilemma is that those rising taxes will place increased...
