Last October saw the first issue of 1-AM (for ItalianAmerican), with items on Italian food, wines and the arts. It was quickly followed by a competitor, Identity, a sophisticated blend of Italian American news and culture. Now comes Nuestro, an ambitious four-color monthly for Hispanic Americans.

Somehow, these students' stories seemed to blend into one single experience whether their involvement with the Church occurred two years or 36 hours ago. Typically, they were approached during vacation or while they were taking a term off from school. One Harvard student explained, "They are looking for your weak points, and most people who are taking time off from school to find out what they want out of life are looking for answers. They want a direction, and the Church is determined to give them...
