...with a faith in the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the neighborhood of Boston. No longer. According to a new and wide-ranging survey of the Unitarian Universalist Association*which was undertaken by Chicago's Opinion Research Center, it has proportionately more college-educated and affluent members than any other church in the U.S.-and more than two-thirds of them now live outside New England, away from the faith's old neighborhood.

Lessinger got his second shock when Film Maker David Parker asked the high school students whom they would trust as the narrator, got the reply, "Nobody...
Most adoption agencies no longer insist that applicants must be affluent and childless. In Texas, families with incomes as low as $3,000 have been allowed to take children, and Los Angeles County has placed some with families on relief. The old thumb rule that the parents' combined ages could not exceed 80 is largely gone. California and several other states have permitted a few unmarried women to adopt children...
