Caretaker Primate Coggan Named Archbishop of Canterbury
The appointment of Dr. Donald Coggan as Archbishop of Canterbury is seen as a caretaker move. At 64, he ranks as the church's No. 2 leader and is expected to retire in five years after succeeding Dr. Michael Ramsey. The brief term may allow younger bishops to mature and address declines in attendance and ordinations while membership trends show growth outside England. Coggan, a noted Biblical scholar involved with the New English Bible, is regarded as a safe, established choice to head the Church of England.

Jeffrey Hart argues the Patricia Hearst case transcends mere crime, becoming a national cultural parable. He compares it to the Lindbergh kidnapping, noting TV and radio coverage shaped public fear of adolescent revolt and the counterculture. The SLA’s violence, narcotics, and symbolic acts are read as a deeper societal anxiety broadcast in prime time.
