• Chapter 1 - President Nixon's "Special Message" on Population Marks the moment in 1969 when the President proposed creation of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future.
• Chapter 2 - The "Rockefeller Commission" on Population Growth President Nixon's remarks upon signing the bill creating the Commission in 1970, and the Commission's recommendations submitted in 1972 on nearly 50 areas of policy and action, including sex education, equal rights for women, contraception and minors, voluntary sterilization, abortion, and population stabilization.
• Chapter 3 - The NSSM 200 Directive and the Study Requested The 1974 Directive signed by Henry Kissinger on behalf of President Nixon, and the text of the study report, "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests."
• Chapter 4 - President Ford's Move toward a U.S. Population Policy The full text of National Security Decision Memo 314, signed in 1975 by Brent Scowcroft on behalf of President Ford, approving almost all of the NSSM 200 recommendations.
• Chapter 5 - What Happened to the Momentum? Traces the decline from its peak in 1975 of U.S. political will to deal with the overpopulation problem.
• Chapter 6 - Why Did Our Political Will Fade Away? Describes the increasing involvement of the Roman Catholic Church in scuttling any positive action toward implementation of the NSSM 200 recommendations.
• Chapter 7 - What Was the Role of the Vatican? How the Reagan Administration altered its foreign aid program to comply with Vatican insistence on an outright ban on use of foreign aid funds for the performance or promotion of abortions.
• Chapter 8 - The Bishops' "Pastoral Plan" The master blueprint for the infiltration and manipulation of the American democratic process at all levels of government. Includes the complete "unsanitized" text of the U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities.
• Chapter 9 - Implications of the Pastoral Plan Analysis of the Plan and its implementation, including the roles of the Catholic Press Association, Catholic physicians guilds, Catholic lawyers associations, hospital associations, lay organizations -- and the paralyzing influence of "ecumenical activity."
• Chapter 10 - The Human Life Amendment -- and Beyond Evidence of the bishops' great success in killing American political will through implementation of the Pastoral Plan but without yet achieving passage of the Human Life Amendment.

• Chapter 14 - Vatican Rejection of Freedom of the Press Examines 150 years of uninterrupted papal hostility toward freedom of the press. Discusses techniques used to "bridle" the press and the conclusion of George Seldes, acknowledged dean of investigative reporters, that on "Catholic issues" there is no free press.
• Chapter 15 - The Catholic League and Suppression of The Press Today The principles governing League behavior, the methods leading to its success, and a collection of specific acts designed to halt public criticism of the Church.
