...charge of the myriad details of this week's wedding is the First Family's social secretary, Elizabeth Clements Abell, 34. Working from a sheaf of check lists and a mammoth plastic-covered map of the White House on which the nuptial traffic flow is charted with a grease pencil, Bess Abell has organized the operation down to the last hairdresser's appointment and millimeter of guest space (2 sq. ft. per person).

The N.A.P.R. claims that about 400 U.S. priests have done so in the past 18 months.* Several speakers proposed structural reforms by which the church might regain the services of married clergymen. One suggestion: the creation of a special jurisdiction for married priests, within which they could continue their clerical functions. At the final session, the attending clerics overwhelmingly approved a resolution...
