...competent, careful administrator and a hail-fellow Eisenhower advocate whose performance has confounded the armchair analysts and won wide approval among the voters. In Illinois, Bill Stratton, another dark horse, had accomplished things that Adlai Stevenson had failed to get done (TIME, July 13). And in Massachusetts, Christian Archibald Herter, 58, a lean, blond giant (6 ft. 4½ in.) with the searching eyes of an intellectual, the manners of a patrician and the pithy record of a politician, was causing a stir that rippled far beyond the shores of Massachusetts Bay.

It is now his turn to be horrified when his devout son Ted walks out on his father's seminary and goes to live among Indians in a village...

The conclusion she wants to reach is that neither dollars nor Christian dogma can bridge the U.S.-Indian gap; there must be intermarriage between the two peoples and agreement that all religions are equally valid, equally tenable.
