...Most obstetricians could not care less; their responsibility ends with the delivery. Most pediatricians have been inadequately trained. And nurses in lying-in wards are much more eager to put a bottle in the baby's mouth to keep it quiet than to trundle the infant back and forth to Mother every two or three hours...

Keynote Speaker Frederick Wilhelm-sen, professor of philosophy and politics at the University of Dallas, declared that "the bishops of this nation labor mightily like elephants and then bring forth as solutions the mice of secular liberalism." The problem with liberalism, explained L. Brent Bozell, editor of the Catholic monthly Triumph (and brother-in-law of William Buckley), is its view of a world in which man is self-sufficient. "It is a question of a man-oriented order...
