But reading godmother Betty's testimony is like watching a bad movie during which you are mentally yelling at the victim to lock the door and call the police. Betty, don't let Monica hide in your car to keep the "meanies" from discovering that she's come to see the Big He again. Be a meanie too, Betty. Save the Republic.

But tonight, from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., he is the on-call chaplain for the entire hospital. In his pocket is a sky-blue beeper that will sound the moment someone's vital signs fail.
