...Priests should be considered like all other men," contends Sophia Loren. An "occasional Roman Catholic," she is "convinced that, once married, they would be better integrated in life, more capable of solving problems which surround them."

Cato denies that he is advocating a retreat into the past. "There is another option," he writes, "principled convenience." By that he means, vaguely, being chary of enforcing the federal will too strongly. The unanswered question is: Whose principles? Whose convenience...
