...Smashups. Abbé Renard seriously raises the question of whether the devout Christian should perhaps renounce entirely such a diabolical tool. His answer is no-first, because such a prospect would be practically impossible; second, because sensible driving is a pleasurable good (Renard, 34, a high school chaplain in the northern French village of Bethune, likes to drive himself). The only solution to the ethical problem of the automobile, he affirms, is for Christians to cease reverting to barbarianism the moment they climb behind the wheel...
...abstemious and devout Baptist, Watson left an executive post with the Lone Star Steel Co. in Dallas three years ago to work full time for the President. Earlier, in 1964, he had helped direct arrangements at the Democratic Convention. He is remembered for his dour directive to office girls, telling them not to spend their lunch hours basking on the Atlantic City boardwalk and not to wear diaphanous blouses...
...Viva All of You!" After three years of bitterness between pickers and growers, the danger in Delano now is that the strikers will resort to violence. Yet Chavez, the militant labor leader, is a devout Roman Catholic who believes perfervidly in pacific means to his ends.

...been a chronic womanizer; past wrongdoings were now an asset, he added, since in his sermons "I always start off talking about the sins I know about firsthand, because people want to know if their sins are about the same or different than mine."

One general-store owner boasted that he was "a faithful church member and a good Christian" -then proceeded to excoriate a Jew who had opened a store across the square and was serving...
...they were also their best effort. The sapper units by anyone's estimate suffered horribly. These units are not, as was inferred by many, inexhaustible, nor are they mere country folk. These were the invaluable, irreplaceable, Hanoi-trained hard-core V.C., Directorate members themselves possibly, and the devout cadre-the very life and stimulus of the N.L.F. movement who have been the motivating spirit of things for years, if not decades. They could, of course, do it again, but certainly not with anywhere near the same quality and intensity...
