...agree. Some have even gritted their teeth and gone to the aid of their party. But many of them are bitter, angry and frustrated; a number of youthful campaigners now actively op pose Humphrey by working in Nixon's youth division. A few disgruntled Mid west supporters even vow that they will protest by voting for George Wallace. Ann Hart, Michigan Senator Phil Hart's daughter, who tirelessly helped from New Hampshire on, says she cannot "in conscience" vote for Humphrey. Sue Moores, a 27-year-old Seattle housewife, puts her objection more bluntly...

Even if he is released from ministerial duties, a priest must also apply to the Vatican for a dispensation from his vow of celibacy. Some prelates simply ignore these requests, and Rome has been equally reluctant about dispensing men from vows.

In so doing, he became the highest ranking ecclesiastic of the 350 or so priests who have left the Catholic Church in the U.S. within the last two years...
Campaign leaders vow the movement will not die. Economic boycotts are planned for 40 cities in an effort to force merchants to help the poor. From his jail cell, Abernathy vowed to fast through his 20-day sentence and pledged that "Resurrection Cities will spring up all over the country." One did, briefly, in Olympia, Wash., on a corner of the state capitol grounds. "Resurrection City II" (three Indian tepees and four tents) and its counterparts may continue to prod the nation's conscience-and occasionally test its patience...
