...communities across the U.S., from Asheville, N.C., to Fargo, N. Dak., the nomadic Lambs of Christ have focused attention on themselves and their targets with now familiar tactics. Whenever possible, they will enter an abortion clinic, or at least blockade it. Using heavy Kryptonite bicycle locks, they chain themselves to concrete blocks or automobile steering wheels and then go limp, making it difficult for police to remove them. When arrested, they usually refuse to give their names -- and they are more than willing to do jail time since that puts a financial burden on local law-enforcement systems. The Lambs...
...carry out that consecration failed in 1942, '52 and '82. John Paul finally carried out Mary's directive correctly in 1984 -- and the very next year Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power inaugurated the Soviet collapse.

"Next to Christa, I'm the happiest woman in the world," says Schweitzer. "We feel so blessed...

Dak. What a visitor notices above all in their cozy, split-level house is the photographs of smiling kids: grandchildren, nieces and nephews and, over the living-room sofa, two large color portraits of the Schweitzers' son Curtis, 26, and daughter Christa...
Arlette grew up in Lemmon, S. Dak., where her father was a jeweler. At 15, she surprised her parents by dropping out of school to marry Dan, now a sales representative for the Keebler Co. She had her children early and was for years a stay-at-home mom. "I played house, and I loved every minute of it," she says. Then when Christa was in third grade, Arlette went back to school. For the past two years, she has taken charge of the library at Aberdeen's Simmons Junior High. "My whole life," she says impishly, "I've done...
