The Mullens had reared their four children to obey the authority of man and God, and they were not self-conscious about admitting they belonged to the Silent Majority. Michael, the eldest, had been an outstanding 4-H Club member and even tried to persuade his parents to vote for Barry Goldwater in 1964.
