"I'm talking about how the villagers at first reject Hester, but later on their opinion changes. Carl?" Carl, seemingly asleep in the back of the class, asks, "You talking about Muhammad Ali?"

...planned for them and how great their lives can be." Her mother Susan Perez, a lapsed Catholic, speaks for many parents who, if they fail to match their children's fervor, are extremely grateful for the program's fruits. "If your teenager is going to be tied to some sort of group; if she comes out of it saying I don't drink, I don't smoke pot, I don't do this or that because I'm a Christian...well, that's O.K.," she says...
