...important, of course, is Dahrendorf s spectacular career both in and out of education. After studying philosophy and classics at Hamburg, Dahrendorf obtained his doctorate in 1956 from the L.S.E. (where he also met his English wife Vera). He has since taught in Germany at the universities of Hamburg, Tubingen and Constance (a progressive institution he helped found in 1967), as well as at Harvard and Columbia...
While some Catholic progressives greeted the new rules as a step in the right direction, however small, outspoken Theologian Hans Kung (Infallible?, Why Priests?) of Germany's Tubingen University was less sanguine. Küng called the regulations "poorly applied cosmetics . . . eyewash for the growing choir of criticism from both clergy and laity."

One of the officially invited theological advisers at Vatican II, Küng has earned both liberal praise and conservative censure for his provocative criticisms of his church. Last week, wearing his usual necktie instead of a Roman collar, Küng arrived in the U.S. for his first extended visit in five years. An enthusiastic ecumenist, he will teach courses in divine justification...
