Volume Two continues the vignettes of my time in the chaplaincy of the United States Armed Forces. In this volume, I review how two Roman Catholic priests were relieved of their ecclesiastical and religious duties at the United States Air Force Academy. The first of these was detailed in the Colorado Springs and Denver media, with extensive coverage of the drama of a sexual liaison between the Deputy Wing Chaplain and an Air Force line officer, whose relationship began while the woman was an Air Force cadet.

In a 'meritocratic' society, people's achievements mainly reflect their own efforts and talents - if you are reasonably bright and motivated there is little stopping you from succeeding in life. In Social Mobility Myths, Peter Saunders, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Sussex, sets out to convince the political class that much of what they believe (or say they believe) about social mobility in this country is either false or more complicated than they think. According to Saunders, modern Britain is a much more open and meritocratic society than most of us realise and talent and motivation are the key drivers of success and achievement. In Social Mobility Myths, Saunders investigates the link between intelligence and social class using empirical sociological models. He argues that by ignoring intelligence, current thinking is in danger of spawning policies that will not work, and which might even make things worse. The bottom line is this: we cannot hope to develop good policies if we ignore the key influence on the phenomenon we are hoping to change.
