McGovern is undoubtedly right in arguing that America's safety does not depend upon sheer nuclear numbers, as the recent U.S.-Soviet agreements bear witness.

No one can be sure, for example, that the nuclear arms race can be slowed more by the example of unilateral U.S. reductions than by bargaining based on threats of escalation...

In the wake of Vatican Council II, liberals hoped that bishops might once more be elected, as they were in ancient Christianity, by the "people of God" they would be serving -lay as well as clerical.
