Asked about all this, the Duchess Canevaro denied the magazines' reports but said: "There is nothing wrong with a sexy conversion. We believe sex is a human necessity, and in certain cases we may go to bed with someone to show people God's love." But "this is the exception rather than the rule," she added. As to the question of whether the Children engage in sex to raise money, the Duchess stoutly denied it. "No one has ever charged one penny for this and never will," she declared.

...college kids, the campaign has enlisted doctors, professors, lawyers, businessmen and bankers. Themes have included a mustachioed, sombreroed Mexican against an orange background (Ole Tequila), a red baron flying high in a blue sky (Seagram's Gin) and a hearts-and-cupids background emblazoned HOW'S YOUR LOVE LIFE?

This utilitarian education takes: William wins a scholarship to the Military College...

If anything, his message is the reverse: people can learn in spite of what they are taught; the residue of ignorantly directed affection is both pain and the memory of love. At the end William muses: "His father had pushed him into it [the army] but he forgave him for that: we have to forgive our parents if we want our children to forgive us." In a different context, this conclusion could have all the resonance of a greeting-card sentiment...
