The subject is reality vs. ideology. 'Pet' Clark wanted to be Superwoman. I wanted to be a totally focussed pastor, great dad, and good husband. 'Helen' wanted to be "a woman of today".

Here is made a principled decision to opt out, of all manner of causes and notions. With the injunction, however, that in order to heal, you have to feel. Eric Clapton starts us out. The House Band brings it on home.
