With hypercritical hindsight, Anne has now decided that "I was very phony in high school. I was terribly shy, and I got aggressive to cover up that awful shyness." But what bothers her most about those years is the memory of someone else winning the school drama medal. The teacher's explanation-that the winner of her choice needed encouragement more than Anne-still rings false. The grown woman seethes with rage and searches for understanding of her girlhood slight...
...Money for Dates. Bronx neighbors still remember the thin, dark-haired girl on the way home from school, munching a 5? pickle and reading plays as she walked. But in her senior year Anne inexplicably decided to become a lab technician and work nobly at the side of some great researcher. Mamma again called the shots, scraped up the $500 tuition to send Anne to the august American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Since then, Chaplain Hedley has also become department chairman and professor of economics and sociology, teaches a senior course in labor problems and a junior course in ethnic groups...
...with Chaplain Hedley, Bishop Pike's main motive in performing the ordination was to witness to church unity. There have been protests. The high-church Protestant Episcopal weekly, the Living Church, criticized the ordination as super-Protestantism. Old Testament Professor (and Methodist) John Otwell of the Pacific School of Religion sounded off in a long letter in the Christian Century: "Putting it quite simply, it would seem that Dr. Hedley is now neither fish nor fowl. He has impugned his ordination as a Methodist, yet he remains merely a Methodist...
