...weekends. (December attractions: a professional puppet show on the Nativity, and converted Folk Singer Noel Paul Stookey, formerly the middleman of Peter, Paul and Mary.) Moore is also trying to establish a helpful beachhead in an asphalt jungle of derelicts, runaways, lost teen-agers and prostitutes, sex parlors and porn shops. Says he: "God isn't into skywriting. He's into people coming to the end of themselves and admitting they're a mess and need help...
