In Maine logging camps, a typical meal consists of vegetable soup, baked beans, bread and jam, macaroni and cheese, ground-beef casserole, pancakes, spaghetti and meatballs, beef stew, fresh baking-powder biscuits, in no particular order. Somewhat more delicately, Julia Child girds for winter with bean soup, enriched with leftover beef or lamb stew or whatever, and home-baked bread. And long johns...

They created a rare Sunday afternoon traffic jam that delayed the rites for a half-hour. The event, unprecedented in U.S. Catholicism, was a "Day of Reconciliation." It offered sacramental absolution without individual confession to all participants, both practicing Catholics and those who had become alienated from the church, including those who had divorced and remarried.
