Much Ado About Nut(ing)

Fasting Chaplain Declares Victory: "A Navy chaplain who had been on an 18-day hunger strike resumed eating Saturday and reported for duty yesterday at the base chapel in Norfolk, saying he had finally wrung from the Navy the right to pray publicly in the name of Jesus.

But a spokesman for the Navy maintained that the chaplain, Lt. Gordon James Klingenschmitt, had been tilting at windmills all along. The Navy has no regulation against praying to Jesus and 'has always encouraged every chaplain to pray according to his own individual faith during worship services,' said the spokesman, Lt. William Marks."
