...reply, 'Oh, darling, I forgot!' If you are creative and imaginative, he'll love you for it." She should also try to greet her man at the door in "an outrageously sexy outfit." (The children get a kick out of this too, says Morgan.) One Southern Baptist woman wore only mesh stockings, high heels and an apron to welcome her mate home from work. She reports that her husband shouted, "Praise the Lord!" and finished his dinner very rapidly...
Died. Norman Treigle, 47, New York City Opera's deeply resonant bass since 1953; of gastrointestinal bleeding; in New Orleans. A devout Baptist, Treigle once sang gospel songs with a touring evangelist known as "the Chaplain of Bourbon Street"; his first lead role at City Opera, a guilt-haunted, Bible-pounding minister in Carlisle Floyd's Susannah, was based on those early experiences.

...government's current strategy is to undercut the Baptist underground by building up the All-Union Council and its support in the West; some concessions have been granted the council, and its membership is up. But prospects are bleak for the rival movement. Thousands of Initsiativniki have been forced back into the All-Union Council or outside of all organized religion. For Vins himself, the future almost certainly holds a sentence of up to ten years, since acquittal in political cases is virtually unknown. Vins' wife and four children fear that given his shaky health, he will follow...
