The Movement of the Ordination of Women’s response to the bishops’ reluctance to offer hospitality to women priests was to take the initiative and invite the Rev. Alison Cheek, the first Australian woman to be priested, and the Rev. Helen Havens, a vicar from Houston, Texas, to visit Australia in June and July 1985.

Hargrave claimed that the Scouting movement was being exploited by "the ultrpatriotic forces as an instrument of war." He accused the Scout Commissioners of being "militaristic" and "imperialistic."

One of the most common sources of subject material in science fiction and fantasy is any contemporary or historical movement which seems dangerous or threatening.

At times Van Anderson has to close his eyes and put his head in his hands to remember exactly what he was doing during the 1970s, and even then some of the details are hazy.
To his credit, he's got the high points nailed: trekking around the SIU campus in his green army field jacket; serving up brews at the Rathole for a quarter a piece; and taking his German Shepherd, Gusto, to class, which was a common practice at the time.
