Since Ronald Reagan is the favorite of Falwell and Co., this looks like an election-eve attempt to stir a religious backlash against Reagan. But Lear, a contributor to John Anderson's campaign, denies partisan intent. PAW involves a wide assortment of public figures both secular and spiritual (among them: Editor Norman Cousins, former FCC chairman Newton Minow, Notre Dame President Theodore Hesburgh, Ecumenical Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, President M.

...Douglas stands a lonely figure in the drafty pantheon of recent American heroes. Yet even near the end of his life, when others had conferred on him an almost ethereal mantle of rectitude, he scarcely seemed to notice. A classic though entirely atypical Westerner, Douglas seemed intent only on getting the job done, the wrong righted, and the next case summoned before the court...
