...earlier report, the mayor's emergency truth squads confined themselves to interviewing police, National Guardsmen and hotel security officers-the very people they were intent upon exonerating. In probing the 5 a.m. police raid on the McCarthy headquarters in the Conrad Hilton, Daley's "investigators" failed to question any of the volunteers who were supposedly raining dangerous debris onto the heads of cops and passersby. Some objects obviously were thrown from hotel windows; just as obviously, neither the cops nor the National Guard could have known which windows they came from. Daley's supporters have also made...

He is also a co-founder of the Association of Washington Priests, to which all the dissenters belong. Immediately after the encyclical was issued, Cardinal O'Boyle called upon his priests "to follow without equivocation, ambiguity or simulation the teaching of the church on this matter." In answer, the 52 priests announced their endorsement of a statement originated by theologians from Catholic University of America holding that spouses may properly decide on the basis of their own consciences whether...
