(Think of "The Human Touch," which at least assumed there was such a thing, or that it could heal, anyway.) "Strict Time," which follows, is the alternative--Shut Up and Dance, with the Attractions providing a relentless, broken-record riff that keeps Elvis on a treadmill.

John McManus, a Catholic newspaper reporter who was once thrown out of school as a boy for beating up Protestants, is now shedding "we-they" attitudes and giving money to Episcopal missionaries. Among the most obvious beneficiaries are people in mixed marriages. Episcopalian Jean Koch used to attend Mass with her Catholic husband and daughter but secretly "felt deprived...
