Last March, The Realist, a shabby Greenwich Village periodical, published the fact of the Blauvelt genealogical entry as an "expose." So, a bit later, did Birmingham's antiSemitic, anti-Negro circular, The Thunderbolt ("The White Man's Viewpoint"). So, in June, did The Winrod Letter, a oamphlet put out by the Rev.

She has an exquisitely nutty sense of humor. When someone begins to tell her a joke about the papacy, she says: "I'm a good Catholic. I'm no supposed to listen. What is it?"
