Telephone lists will be outlawed, but a finger snap will bring Cool drinks and gourmet dinners and rare treats fit for a king. You ask, who ll serve these privileged few and work for all they re worth? Why all those who reaped the benefits and not once volunteered on earth. Father Nestor will be away on vacation this upcoming week. In case of In Case of Emergency... an emergency, please call Father John Wysochansky at
