...Catholic teaching force, and in five years they will probably be in a majority. Their pay runs to three or four times what a nun teacher costs, yet is enough lower than public school pay to make them hard to recruit. These rising costs put an extra strain on the collection plate-and spur on such typically Catholic fund-raising gimmicks as bingo, raffles, cake sales and carnivals...

Current, if its March issue is any indication, badly needs to decide why it exists.

However, the Thirty Years' War is on, and since the profit motive is no laughing matter, Mother Courage cashes in on the troops. Trundling her wagon, a kind of mobile 17th century PX, behind the shifting battlefronts, she sells shoes, shirts and booze to the soldiers...
