...into Washington all ready to sit on the opposite side of Griffith Stadium from his brother Dwight, 66. For the baseball season's opening game, Edgar was the guest of the visiting Baltimore Orioles (he had met Manager Paul Richards while vacationing near the Orioles' Arizona training camp), while Dwight was the first-ball pitcher and No. 1 rooter for the Washington Senators. Before Edgar left Washington, he hit the brotherly differences clear out of the ballpark...

Their mission: to transform the camp into a monastery, follow the secluded, contemplative life of their order. But the goal soon broadened; the Benedictines sheltered Arab political refugees displaced by the swelling national unrest, and word of the monks' kindness quickly spread. Soon the monks were treating some 200 Berbers a day at their newly built dispensary, sheltering and educating a flock of 20 orphan boys. No attempt at conversion was made. In fact...
