Ever since their 21st birthday last year, when each girl got a one-fifth share of their $1,000,000 trust fund, the Dionne sisters have been trying to slip out of the spotlight that has shone on them since birth. They began wearing different clothes and hairdos. Yvonne and Cecile continued training as nurses at a suburban Montreal hospital, Marie returned to a convent and Annette went to study music at Nicolet, Que. But a month ago, the separation became unbearable and the sisters reunited in Montreal...
...Randolph shone most brightly in a recklessly courageous military career: he jumped into Yugoslavia as a parachutist with a Commando unit, also served in North Africa and Italy, reached the rank of major.

But when Friday afternoon came, "she scrubbed the kitchen on her hands and knees until the place shone. The candles were lit, and we sang the joyful Sabbath hymns and drank the sacramental wine; the children, too. My father usually talked about the Bible."
