The rule has been broken in Guatemala, where three priests and a nun of the Roman Catholic Maryknoll order have openly sided with the country's left-wing rebels...

...plies the willing Bron with Brahms; just as her defenses begin to crumble, a scratch on the record breaks the romantic mood. Moore also asks to have a perfect spiritual union with his beloved, but he fails to specify one important detail and thus ends up as a nun.
