  7. &lt;br&gt;I said [to his counselors] that protests are coming to permitting the use of the Tabernacle for political meetings.  We considered the part to be taken by the brethren of the General Authorities in the political meetings.  It was decided that individual members of the General Authorities may attend these meetings as they please, but that they be advised to take no part.  I stated that I had advised Elder Hugh B. Brown not to participate by offering prayer or by introducing the speaker.  It was suggested that Elder Ezra Taft Benson refrain from participating in the campaign.

  19. &lt;br&gt;Tuesday afternoon Jack Adamson died at his home of a heart attack. ...
  20. &lt;br&gt;
  21. &lt;br&gt;    When Jack went to the University of Idaho in the fall of 1936 he joined a fraternity and partook of the life of fraternity boys which included occasional smoking, drinking, and partying. After two years he went on a mission [to Scotland] and was a good missionary from all reports. After he returned, World War II had commenced and he volunteered for service, as I recall in the Air Corps. This was probably the period when he resumed occasional smoking, drinking, coffee, etc. After the war he returned to the University of Utah and then completed his Ph.D. in literature at Harvard University [in 1956]. He then became the outstanding professor that so many students came to love and admire.
  22. &lt;br&gt;
  23. &lt;br&gt;    Despite all the above, let it be recorded that he never regarded himself as outside the church. He taught Sunday School for many years and was a great teacher. He permitted exploration of unorthodox ideas and this caused church authorities (I think Apostle Harold B. Lee) to advise the bishop that he be released. I heard him myself make a public statement in response to a question that he did not believe in a personal God and he did not regard himself as an orthodox Mormon. I think he did not believe in a future life. Nevertheless, he never became bitter or rebellious and did not like people who did. He was proud to call himself a Mormon in a cultural and social sense-in every sense except orthodox in theology. He thought Mormonism to be a superior religion and having desirable values which should be perpetuated. Even the temple [ceremony] he regarded as providing desirable ritual and celebration which would influence people for good-or it had the potential of
  24. &lt;br&gt;influencing people for good....

  38. &lt;br&gt;[San Francisco] We had an interview with [pro-Mormon national republican comittee chair] Judge Estee. We told him we came to him as a friend, not as a paid attorney. We felt more free in coming to him in this way, because we knew that he was disinterested, an that we could expect to get his views uninfluenced by any other motives than to do us good. We went over the ground of our case very thoroughly. He referred to the necessity of our making some announcement concerning polygamy and the laying of it aside. I described to him the difficultythere was in writing such a document&amp;#39;-the danger there would be that we would either say too much or too little. He appreciated this difficulty, but nevertheless pressed the point as one that must be done sooner or later.

The whites were cautioned to give the Indian full value for his skins, furs, pine nuts and labor, and not take advantage of his ignorance as to the value of articles. The Indians are to be taught the science of agriculture, and the young ones their letters, the phonetic way of spelling, and the english language.

  49. &lt;br&gt;Neal Maxwell telephoned me to warn me that one certain brother in the Twelve was a little upset about him offering Eugene England half time employment with the Institute and with us offering him &amp;quot;employment&amp;quot; in the Historical Department. He was fearful that this would cause Gene to turn down offers for permanent employment that might come to him. Neal was not giving me any advice-merely informing me that there was one authority who felt that Eugene should not be discouraged from accepting full time employment outside the Church and its educational system. He left no references who it was, but I thought it might be Elder [Boyd K.] Packer or Elder [Mark E.] Petersen.

Leonard P. Matlovich is featured on the cover of TIME Magazine with the headline, &amp;quot;I Am a Homosexual: The Gay Drive for Acceptance.- The accompanying article makes no mention of Matlovich&amp;#39;s Mormonism. Two months later Matlovich is excommunicated. Matlovich served three tours of duty in Vietnam where he received the Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, and an Air Force Meritorious Service Medal. Sgt Matlovich was discharged from the army for coming out. He sued and settled for $160,000. He became a gay-rights activist and died, from complications due to AIDS, on Jun 22, 1988. The epitaph carved in his tombstone in the District of Columbia-s Congressional Cemetery reads -When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.-
