...have just read your article, "Sally's Service," [about British Teen-Ager Sally Moore, who rewrote an Anglican church's evening service for more teen-age appeal-June 15]. I think this gal Sally should take another look at what she is doing to God's service and her fellow youths.

...Fight. For old Bill Keck, it was the end of a long fight to stay independent in an age of integration and merger.

Miss Swenson is, I should guess, twice Juliet's age; yet she gives us a Juliet who is clearly a teenager, and that is in itself a rare achievement. She underscores the impression with occasional youthful bits of business, such as tossing her breviary up in the air and catching it again...
