Barbara now gets up at 9, while Maurice rises at 7:30 to dress and feed the three children (a daughter was born six months ago). Four days a week, a maid comes in to care for the children and do some cleaning. Barbara spends her mornings-and many afternoons and evenings too-working for N.O.W. She comes home to lunch with the kids, then cares for them from 4 p.m. onward and starts dinner. Maurice gets home at 6:30, usually helps with dinner and then helps Barbara put the children to bed. Last year they took separate five...
...They dress in everything from miniskirts to medieval mantles. They do everything from classroom teaching to police work. One has a job with Cesar Chavez, another with Ralph Nader.

Under the leadership of their former mother general, Sister Luke Tobin (the only American nun to attend Vatican II), the Loretto community became the prototype for renewal in American sisterhoods.

Last month the Vatican explicitly forbade nuns to discard "distinctive religious garb" for secular dress. Besides the Pope and many of the all-male hierarchy, some sisters are openly opposed to what they consider the excesses of renewal. About 120 of them have organized their views in a group called Consortium Perfectae Caritatis (Association of Perfect Charity). Nevertheless, the new nuns are confident that they...
...room . And she was looking at me ... gazing at me, with an expression of rapture in her peerless eyes . . . and she wandered across to me, and addressed herself to me, and plied me with drinks and innocent flattery and lured me upstairs to some remote bedroom . . . and unbuttoned her dress with trembling fingers and drew me down onto the bed . . . murmuring her demure desire and then stuffed her tit in my mouth and her hand down my trousers ... I believe I might succumb...
