...such an unwarranted horror could be visited on one of his own ministers? For a year Kushner wrestled with the question in writing. The result, published in 1981, was When Bad Things Happen to Good People (Schocken Books; $10.95). It is an odd book-part classical theology, part cracker-barrel, self-help philosophy. But when an excerpt appeared in Redbook in the October 1981 issue, it made the author a national figure.

There are the horse pictures, the portraits, and so on. By sampling each of these, Sewell hoped to build up a convincing picture of Eakins...
Howard Baker seems the perfect Government representative. But when the cuts concern his pork-barrel projects, like the Clinch River breeder reactor, he is not asking as much of himself as he does of other Senators. Baker may be a shepherd in party matters, but he is a wolf when legislation threatens Tennessee...
