...opinions of the religious right are shared by large numbers of people who do not belong to Fundamentalist churches. "A majority of Protestants are simply dissatisfied with what they regard as a moral breakdown in American society," asserts Sociologist Phillip Hammond of the University of California at Santa Barbara. Conservative Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Mormons, Orthodox Jews and many secularists are understandably concerned about such developments as the more than 16 million abortions performed since 1973, the fourfold increase since 1970 in children raised by unwed mothers, the rise in drug use, the emergence of gay liberation and the glamorization...
Another distinction involves church affiliations. Evangelicals often coexist amicably with liberals within mainline denominations, such as Methodist and Presbyterian groups, that hold membership in the National Council of Churches. These bodies tolerate a variety of beliefs. All true Fundamentalists, strictly speaking, belong to congregations or denominations that root out any hint of liberalism. As many as 10 million members worship in wholeheartedly Fundamentalist churches.* There are several times as many Evangelicals, both inside and outside the mainline groups. The largest Evangelical body, the 14.4 million-member Southern Baptist Convention, is now facing a powerful takeover campaign by its Fundamentalist wing...

Eight weeks later, I was elected to The Crimson and began my long love-affair with the building on Plympton St. I spent nights and days learning more about photography than I thought possible. But what kept me there was this intangible sense of belonging that I desperately needed. My roommates and I did get along, and we are still good friends, but we were so fundamentally different and travelled in such completely opposite circles that I could never belong where they were. I stopped dealing with my roommates altogether by the second semester...
...preparation for the yuppies, I bought a dozen Oxford shirts. In an effort to fit in with my roommates. I drank and played hard. My desire to belong at The Crimson drove me to view my work there as career-oriented and as if nothing else mattered. The diversity promised to every incoming freshman existed from the outside of the "Ivory Tower" but not from within. Not for me anyway...
