Two classic science fiction works you'll want to look at are
*A Case of Conscience* by James Blish and the widely anthologized
"The Star" by Arthur C. Clarke (which you might want to look at,
btw, alongside H. G. Well's famous story of the same name). Another
well known SF story that may be relevant is Anthony Boucher's "The
Quest for Saint Aquin" available, among other sources, in *The
Science Fiction Hall of Fame*, vol. 1, ed. Robert Silverberg.

The Swiss playwright Friz Hochwaelder wrote a play, I believe in 1942, based
on the expulsion of the Jesuits from Paraguay called _Das heilige Experiment_.
It was performed in English under the title _The Strong Are Lonely_. I think
the actual details of the plot are fictitious.

"Jawboning" was a term also in use during the Truman Administration,
and again with Kennedy -- both, as I recall in connection with strikes
or impending strikes in the rail and steel industries. "Ike" didn't
use the term because he wasn't prone to do much persuading anyway.
