When the concert was over, few of the prisoners wanted to leave. Said Louie Mareno, a Chicano: "I've been in jail a long time, but I've never seen a group react to anyone like this." Said Captain Buzz Brewer of the Salvation Army: "I've never seen anything like this in the eleven years I've been working in prisons." A white convict named Forrest summed up the scene: "When you can get all these races together acting as a whole, that's good. It was a miracle considering all the tensions here...
Just how much patient effort even these few projects involve may be seen from the experience of Wycliffian Missionaries Al and Sue Graham. An S.I.L. field team, the Grahams first began following members of the remote Satere tribe around with tape recorders and 3-by-5 cards (for jotting down phonetic notes) in 1959.

Even that unflappable knight of the Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi?otherwise known as Sir Alec Guinness?is amazed and a little perplexed by the Star Wars phenomenon. People who have seen the film in the U.S. are making him a cult figure, he says, and reminding him of his duties as the last of a great line of warriors:"It's a fun movie, but some spooky stuff has crept in. People are taking it too seriously, and I wouldn't encourage that altogether." Adds the Catholic convert: "I'm an alleged Christian, so to that extent...
