Love as Blackmail. Butler was born in 1835, two years before Queen Victoria was crowned. His father, Canon Thomas Butler, was himself a bishop's son-a man who took for granted that his own filial piety would be duplicated in his children. Samuel's mother was also typical of her class and times, i.e., everything a mother of the 19503 tries not to be.

But the "new learning" finally brought him round. Son Hu denounced his father as a "reactionary" who had paved "the road for capitalism-until he returns to the embrace of the people he will always...
...Filial Duty. In San Quentin, Calif., Prisoner Josephine Montgomery, hastily transferred from Tehachapi Prison for Women after a routine medical examination revealed that he was a man, explained how he had come to be sent to Tehachapi in the first place: "My folks brought me up as a girl, and I thought I'd just let things ride...
