“WHEN we were little children, my brothers and sister and I, we used to sit around the supper table at night and listen to our mother talk about "when I was a little girl" Our father worked nights on a morning newspaper, so we seldom saw him and our evening meals were leisurely.”
American journalist, social activist, and Catholic convert
