Since then they have been so busy that "sometimes," says Sister Jeanne Madeleine, "we feel that three lifetimes wouldn't be enough for all we want to do." To prepare a composition for their music classes, they must first listen to it played on records, then write it out in Braille, and finally learn each section, one hand at a time. After that come hours of practicing together, sandwiched in between the duties and ritual of their order...
Bubba Tongay, 5, and his sister Kathy, 4, have been knocking off long-distance swimming records ever since they were old enough (ten months) to dog-paddle. Back home in Miami, the wide-shouldered, sun-scorched Tongay kids swim seven miles before breakfast every morning. Last year Bubba swam 22 miles down the Mississippi.

...Both of them live on other people's vices . . ." That is Maugin's record. At 14, he ran away from his home in the provinces with five sous in his pocket. The money was blackmail, squeezed out of a schoolboy pal whom he had caught raping his sister. Women paid his way more directly in Paris. An adoring prostitute kept him in meals and clothes; a mousy ingenue housed him (he left her pregnant); a nymphomaniac stage star married him and later took an overdose of morphine after he divorced her. Glandular charm plus superficial talent took...
