Since the committee includes, as the woman churchgoer noted, Russia's Archbishop Nikodim, the bearded Orthodox Metropolitan of Leningrad and Ladoga, fundamentalist Protestant leaders also descended on Tulsa for a headon, pulpit-pounding, old-time religious confrontation...

Glenn, an accountant who is now treasurer of Playboy, was and is a regular Methodist churchgoer; so is Grace. In his early years, Hefner was the kid across the aisle in school who was always scribbling sketches. He liked to write up the doings of local kids for a neighborhood newspaper, and drew 70 cartoon strips about ornery Western outlaws, an interplanetary space traveler...
