...This is not the faith that nourished me," protests Michael Novak. A former seminarian and now resident scholar at the Conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington, Novak is a leading lay thinker in the U.S. Catholic Church. He is the author of The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, which posits that a free economy is the natural embodiment of Western religious ideals, and of the forthcoming Confessions of a Catholic, a reflection on the Nicene Creed. As a student of both strategic and theological questions, Novak finds the argument made in the draft pastoral letter of the National Conference of Catholic...
NUCLEAR ATTACK. Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, 44, a former seminarian whose flaky image won him the title Governor Moonbeam, lagged 22 points behind San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson as recently as last June. But his well-placed salvos have put Wilson, 49, on the defensive.

Ultimately, though, it's not really...
...protest the new status and boycott the independence ceremonies. But Prime Minister Price, 62, carried his country along, just as he has dominated it since Britain granted Belize self-rule in 1964. Says one diplomat: "He certainly knows how to use the levers of power." A onetime Roman Catholic seminarian, Price led the struggle for independence after his political party was founded in 1950. In 1958 he was tried for sedition by the British and found innocent. Despite the doubters, Price is convinced that his country can go it alone...
