Niebuhr says Nixon uses White House worship to legitimize policy
Noted theologian Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, age 77, argues Nixon’s Sunday White House worship signals religious approval for policy while eroding church state separation. He calls it a taming religion that flatters official policy and dulls critical faculties. In Christianity and Crisis he stresses concerns over the president inviting faith to shape governance. Meanwhile comedian Jack Benny, 71, is named Rhode Island special financial consultant, praised by Gov. Licht for frugality and fiscal insight during tight money. Benny, who jokes he’s 39, holds masterful violin skill and renowned comedy. Benny is slated to perform at Warwick Musical Theater this week.
