[PW] Fame of Serenity Prayer

[Nina Gilbert]

Fred, do you know about "Help a reporter out"?  This sounds like a perfect query to post there:
http://www.helpareporter.com/press/

Peter sends his queries out to nearly 10,000 people three times a day, often with quick deadlines.

Hope this helps,

Nina

P.S. to other Project Wombats:  to see "Help a Reporter Out" from the "Source Side," look here:

Subject: [PW] Fame of Serenity Prayer


For a very important article on the Serenity Prayer I am writing on deadline, I need a few statements from prominent sources attesting to the fame of the Serenity Prayer. I would welcome suggestions of statements about its being one of the most famous prayers of all time, about its influence on the lives of prominent people or large numbers of ordinary people, or about its importance in Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as references to the SP in important works of literature or other important books or films or songs.  Because I am on deadline, responses today or tomorrow would be particularly valuable.

I already know about the references in the Wikipedia article on the Serenity Prayer.
