Later in the week, both Nixon and Graham spoke before a crowd of 2,000 at an annual presidential prayer breakfast in the Sheraton-Park Hotel.

First there's a 5 a.m. breakfast in the local all-night diner, where the waitresses groan as they see Shorty bringing up a truckfull of oil-oozing smudgers ("Oh God the smudgers-- close up quick"). Then back to the groves to put out the pots and clean up the ones that have exploded. The darkness is over now and so is all the mysterious excitement of the smudgepot fire-dance.
