...member of BIRTHRIGHT, a prolife, alternative-to-abortion group, I was appalled to read of the refusal to baptize Nathaniel Morreale because his mother supported the establishment of an abortion-information clinic. Father Roussin and Monsignor Meehan have failed to grasp the basic moral premise of the prolife philosophy: the child, born or unborn, should never be discriminated against for the sins or misfortunes of his parents. For example, a fetus should not be punished by murder because his father was a rapist or his mother was pregnant out of wedlock. The fetus, and by extension the infant, is always...
...Carol Morreale, 20, and her husband Daniel, 23, the second Sunday of August was to have been a day of celebration. On that day the couple had planned to take their three-month-old son Nathaniel to Immaculate Conception Church in Marlboro, Mass., for his baptism as a Roman Catholic.

To compensate-and in effect illustrate the fall of Troy-Wexler and Director Nathaniel Merrill have conjured up six full scene changes spinning around on the turntable. Complete with a dazzling procession, the horse, plus three more huge icons of animals, it is a mesmerizing panoply...
...jaws in question-vast, inexorable, connected not to a mentality but to an appetite-are those of cliche and crude literary calculation. The man pulling the string that makes the cruel teeth clack together is First Novelist Peter Benchley, 33, son of Writer Nathaniel Benchley and a grandson of the great funnyman Robert Benchley...
