Synopsis:
Julia Kapetlis writes a journal entry. She details Wonder Woman's meeting with the United Nations, her subsequent withdrawl from the public eye during the G. Gordon Godfrey anti-hero campaign, and her meeting with the newly-formed Justice League.

Etta Candy writes to Steve Trevor about the military tests Diana completed. She deflected bullets fired from uzis, stopped a jet from taking off, and lifted a tank. Etta expresses concern that the military does not respect Wonder Woman.

Vanessa composes a diary entry which tells of Wonder Woman speaking at her school. An older boy, Barry Locatelli, has now shown interest in Vanessa. After Diana's speech, Vanessa and Barry attack a trio of bullies who have defaced a picture of Wonder Woman.

Myndi Mayer writes to Julia to update her on the publicity campaign. Wonder Woman made many appearances and met the President. Myndi is concerned about religious groups who dislike Wonder Woman's pagan beliefs. She then forwards a letter from Barbara Minerva which claims that Minerva possesses the second magic girdle which belonged to Antiope.
