...undergo a premarriage preparation period similar to the one required for residents of Phoenix. I have recently completed the "premarital inventory" with my fiance. We are 25 years old and have dated for 3½ years, and the process reaffirmed our belief in each other. The Roman Catholic Church deserves applause for attempting to bring the divorce rate down...
Reader Mark M. Steele is misinformed when he states that the Roman Catholic Church "turned its back on the fate of the Jews" during the Holocaust [July 9]. The Jewish scholar Pinchas E.

Those who need it are given a bath, then the teachers read stories and teach them songs. "We make home visits and try to build a relationship with the parents," says Head Start's Juan Cortes, an ex-migrant who spent his first summer in the fields at the age of four. Still, Cortes acknowledges, few parents visit their children's class, except...
