...dealt with the shocks and complexities of the case, Judge Carter not only was relaxed on the bench but seemed to enjoy the proceedings. The enormous pressures had not changed his manner at all.

Catholic women who saw motherhood as their goal had more menstrual troubles than Catholic women who were willing to pursue careers and childless marriage.
