...presidential tradition. All five of his predecessors were both Methodist ministers and teetotalers; the son of a Nebraska Lutheran schoolteacher, Christ-Janer was a Presbyterian layman before becoming a Methodist-and he does take a social drink now and then. He majored in Greek at Minnesota's Carleton College, has a law degree from the University of Chicago as well as one in divinity from Yale...
