Three weeks before Christmas, on December 1, 1958, one of the most horrific fires in American history broke out at Our Lady of the Angels elementary school in Chicago, claiming the lives of ninety-two children and three nuns. Fire Angels is a fictional account of that fire. It's a story of arson; of bravery by parents, nuns, firefighters, and medical professionals; of a falsely accused janitor; of a cover-up within the Catholic Church; of a judge who, in having to determine the juvenile arsonist's fate, is torn between loyalty to his church and justice; of a tight-knit community changed forever; and of two survivors who fall in love. Fire itself is also a central character in this story, a cunning observer that comes to life whenever a flame is lit.
Founded as California's state capital in 1850 and named for one of the state's pre-eminent native sons, General Mariano Vallejo, the city of Vallejo has a favored location on the eastern interior of San Francisco Bay. Protected from wind, fog, and possible invasion by sea, Mare Island, just off Vallejo's shoreline, was the United States Navy's first base in the Pacific in 1854. Mare Island Navy Yard grew to meet the challenge of every major conflict in the country, reaching its apex during World War II and ending its military life producing nuclear submarines. The sunny sloping streets of Vallejo lengthened and became more populous in tandem with the Yard, expanding in bursts and nearly tripling its population in the 1940s. In recent years the city and its institutions have survived a wrenching urban and economic redevelopment process, now building on the creative strengths of its historic downtown and colorfully diverse population to forge a Vallejo for the new millennium.

It isaweil known fact that the earlier the illness is recognized and treatment initiated, the better are the results of cancer therapy. The demand for earllest possible treatment generated the necessity for development of methods for the diagnosis of the earliest forms of cancer. A search for the smallest cancer thus started, leading to the recognition of epithelial changesthat were undoubtedly abnormal, although their malignant nature was dubious. The long interval before a true malignant tumor develops, according to observations made by various groups of investigators all over the globe, rendered the malignant nature of the primary epithelial change unlikely. In the search for the smallest cancer, its precursor was found. It thus became possible to interrupt the chain of changes leading to cancer, through less extensive surgical intervention, before the develop ment of the typical destructive form. Nowhere is this sequence of events more obvious than in cancer of the uterine cervix. The easy access to these tumors made the applications of the systematically developed ingenious methods of search especially successful. Only classical histo logic examination, however, can form the basis for the correct evaluation of these methods. A great number of early changes associated with cervical cancer were dis covered in recent years in Cologne through the clever application of methods for early detection. These cases represent the basis of the work of the Köln-Bonn team with regard to the morphology and classification of carcinoma in situ.

Four Score and More finds the author in his 87th year. That life began at the end of 1923, embracing the Great Depression that devalued our over-mortgaged farm in Pike County, Illinois; 10 years of semi-privation saw it paid off. Even so, The Times of My Life knew both up-times and down-times in that decade, good practice for the rest of a long life. A one-room country school brought education early into my life, and education led to most of the best up-times to follow. The first degree (bachelor of science in agriculture, University of Illinois) brought me across the threshold into the wider world, with some academic problems and a war to deal with before I got there. University life brought boons, none greater than linking with the love and companion of the next 64 years (still counting): the anchor of family, herself a high achiever and inspiration and mentor to me and two beloved children—and three grandchildren. Two degrees followed: M.S., technical journalism, Iowa State University, and Ph.D.(first in the extended family), behavioral communication, University of Wisconsin. One career was 30 years of faculty tenure as professor of journalism and mass communication and leader of a staff of educational-media producers. Early retirement (age 56) opened the way for two decades of work abroad: three international agricultural research centers and then private consulting in agricultural and environmental communication, from a few weeks to months and years in over 40 countries on five continents.
