Hubert went to the University of Minnesota, but he had to come home after his sophomore year. The Great Depression had struck, and his father needed him to help at the drugstore. For six years Hubert dispensed prescriptions and vaccinated hogs. Hard times confirmed him in the fundamentalist liberal faith from which he would rarely deviate in the years ahead. But even the darkest periods were usually sunny for Hubert. He met a hometown girl, Muriel Buck, at a dance, and she began eating lunch at the Humphrey drugstore. The pair were married and eventually had four children. Always quietly...
...look back: the Fundamentalist contingent is in hot pursuit. The conscientious scholarship of a Leakey notwithstanding, there are millions of people who still pray that any truth of evolution will not become generally known or believed...
...their mores and lifestyle, the Afrikaners?particularly in the countryside?are as authentically tribal in outlook as Zulus living in a homeland kraal.

She is a Roman Catholic, and says she found it somewhat difficult to reconcile her new Christian beliefs--beliefs long associated with some of the more fundamentalist forms of Protestantism--with her Catholicism. She now does consider herself a Catholic, after a long period of self-questioning, but still runs into difficulties with some Catholic dogma. Recently, she said, she tried to organize a Bible study group at the Catholic Student Center, where she is very active. The idea met with little enthusiasm...
