Mahoney's win, in the long run, would be a serious loss for his party. The bitterly fought contest so severely splintered Maryland Democrats that even token unity would be hard to reconstruct in the foreseeable future. The real winner in all likelihood would thus be the Republican candidate for Governor, Spiro T. Agnew, 47, an even-tempered moderate who has served ably as Baltimore County Executive.

The Unitarian Church of Montclair, N.J., recently handed town officials a check for $1,000 in token payment for services rendered. In Boston the Christian Scientists pay city taxes on all their properties except the Mother Church itself. In sum, the churches seem ready to render unto Caesar at least a little of his due-lest Caesar ask for even more...
