...Butter, No Milk. In such predominantly Catholic regions as Normandy, Brittany and La Vendée, children who attend public schools and their parents are occasionally denied the sacraments. In one Vendée town the curé himself told his congregation: "You have a good laïque teacher, but even if she were a saint, you should not send your children to her." The teacher soon found that children would turn from her in the street, and that farmers refused to sell her butter and milk.

"Every time Ecuador buys armaments," notes Peruvian Foreign Minister Raul Porras, "we buy as much...
...busy factories, and there are others whose making is a joyful family tradition; one Madrid family lives in an apartment so small that their crèche completely fills it; they haul it up to the ceiling and sleep beneath. There are crèches in churches, in public squares, even in bars-a notable one is located in the English Bar in Nazareth...
