...seemed to me as I stood at Cape Kennedy with my daughter Elizabeth, then aged eleven, and my son David, aged nine, that they would live in a world at variance with mine. I had known only national boundaries as a child. Space was beyond...

The company refused, stating that the nuns had not been registered as bona fide...
