John Dickson looked over at the children playing on the school playground. He ducked, but the football grazed his questioner, bloodying his nose. "Can you use my handkerchief?" Dickson brought it out from his pocket.
"No thanks. I'll be okay. I'm a doctor, by the way." He extended his hand.
"If you mean her," Dickson pointed at the girl on the swing, "yes, that's Maureen Dickson, my daughter."
"Well, John--may I call you John?--you saw the newspapers this morning, the Supreme Court refusing to take my case against the school our kids attend."
"Yes, I read the whole story here"--he pulled the paper up from his bicycle bag. "You're mad because the Court refused to forbid the recitation of the pledge with the phrase, 'under God' in it."
