Though the clinic is located in Gary, a one-hour drive over twisting roads from their spartan four-room house in Panther, Rachel, 19, never missed an appointment with her doctor. "She was one of our prize patients," says Kem Short, an outreach worker in the clinic's maternal and infant health program.

Alas, she fails to consider that Lennie's fierce male pride will curdle when she reveals herself...
...jokes now about his youthful "indiscretions," presenting them as typical of the 1960s. Tom Hayden, he likes to say, was tried for inciting to riot before he entered a state legislature. He claims without proof that the late U.S. Congressman Mickey Leland was a Black Panther. Those people were associated with violence, whereas "my branch of the Klan was nonviolent...
