...CATHOLIC PENTECOSTALS, like the Jesus People, emerged unexpectedly and dramatically in 1967. Publicly austere but privately ecstatic in their devotion to the Holy Spirit, they remain loyal to the church but unsettle some in the hierarchy. In a sense they are following the lead of mainstream Protestant Neo-Pentecostals, who have been leading charismatic renewal movements in their own churches for a decade...
During the past three years, an ever-increasing number of people have departed from the conservative mainstream of the American Catholic Church to pose a highly convincing threat to the government's war machine. They have helped organize mass demonstrations, and they have destroyed thousands of draft files. The Baltimore Four, the Catonsville Nine, the Milwaukee Fourteen, the Flower City Conspiracy, and many more-each of these groups has made considerable impact through their practice of non-violent civil disobedience.

The Piedmont gives the state much of its new character?aggressiveness, prosperity, a willingness to homogenize its traditions in search of the economic mainstream. The North Georgia mountains have steeped a third element into Georgia. Life in the beautiful rolling hills of the Appalachians resembles that in Tennessee and West Virginia. With the exception of Dalton (carpet industry) and Gainesville (chicken processing), North Georgia is economically depressed, a region of fiercely individual mountain folk given...
