What happened? For one thing, admits the Rev. T.A. Raedeke, Lutheran executive director of Key 73, "it was a fiasco financially." Organizers had hoped for at least $2,000,000 for the national campaign; less than $600,000 materialized. Most of the money went for a television special and other activities of "Launch Weekend" a year ago. Local and regional groups, though, spent at least $10 million...

Andrew Greeley is, among other people, a Roman Catholic priest, a sociologist, a theologian, a weekly columnist (50 U.S. Catholic newspapers), the author of 40-odd books and, of late, a celibate sex expert. He is an informational machine gun who can fire off an article on Jesus to the New York Times Magazine, on ethnic groups to the Antioch Review, and on war to Dissent. This year he will write his first novel-about Chicago's Irish. "He's obsessive, compulsive, a workaholic," says Psychologist-Priest Eugene Kennedy, a close...
