Announcement that New York's Macmillan Publishing Company has contracted with BYU to publish multi-volume ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MORMONISM. Under direct supervision of apostles Neal A. Maxwell and Dallin H. Oaks, church intends this to be public-relations publication. Published in 1992 encyclopedia's content is so heavily managed by apostles and four other general authorities with "special assignments" that its editor Daniel H. Ludlow (official of Church Correlation Committee) disclaims: "In no sense does the ENCYCLOPEDIA have the force and authority of scripture."
