...politicking has been largely for the enjoyment of the Presidents. They get to use their airplanes and helicopters more than ever. They love those machines and the sense of authority they bring. They escape the office. At 37,000 ft. or out in the unruffled spaces of Winner, S. Dak., the world is blissfully manageable. Adulation from masses of people actually changes their psyche.

You have to gulp before you buy." Because collections have not kept pace with inflation, Butler has been forced to cut the church's projects and staff to a minimum. When the parsonage fell into disrepair, the Butlers themselves repainted it and pasted up new wallpaper. "The estimates from contractors were just too high," recalls Mrs. Butler.
