...practicing Catholic of 66 years, I deplore the stance of most of the U.S. bishops on nuclear arms and El Salvador. I believe these are political questions best left to the President and Congress to resolve. As a taxpayer, I am also interested in the case of Archbishop Hunthausen, who is refusing to pay half his income taxes as an antinuclear protest.

But he will...

Finally, farther along their route, they encountered opposition: massed militia units with dozens of vehicles armed with water cannons. There was no clash. The protesters turned away, hurling insults at the militia ("Gestapo," "Whom do you serve?") as they walked toward the Vistula River. There the march broke up. Said one young worker triumphantly: "That was exactly what we wanted. There was no violence. It was a real morale...
