...back on his old-brick patio for lunch, and his wife Margaret, a good-looking woman he calls Boo, joined them. Kirbo, a devout member of the Christian Church, dropped his head and said grace. With his large hands and deep, soft voice, he seemed a little like Atticus Finch from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird-the wise, laconic, just man who knew exactly who he was and where he was. No matter what kind of Washington eminence he might become, or whether he decided to pick up his hat and coat and just get out of there, Charles...
...royal egos to match, but it does not have many who are willing to say, as Guitarist Roy Buchanan does, "Probably the reason I never made it big was because I didn't care whether I made it big." If there is room in rock for a shy, devout, balding man of 36, Buchanan may make it big in spite of himself...
...intolerable cuties who have been dis patched by Light (one of Miss Taylor's incarnations) to search out the Blue Bird. On their mission, the kids visit the .

Many, if not most Americans -devout liberals as well as professed conservatives-now regard their Government as a huge, inefficient, tax-guzzling and somehow hostile presence. For a long while, of course, Americans have been in at least rhetorical revolt against Big Government, big bureaucracy and big programs. What is new is the success of the candidates who have grasped and stumped on this issue. Jimmy Carter's early runaway, Ronald Reagan's rebound and Jerry Brown's recent prominence can be credited at least...
...legal authorities in Clark County, Nev., "after my death or disappearance." It was signed Howard R. Hughes. In a bizarre coincidence, a few hours before the discovery, Texan John Connally turned up at the Mormon offices. Frank W. Gay, the chief executive of Hughes' Summa Corp. and a devout Mormon, also happened to drop by Salt Lake City just before the will was found. A Mormon spokesman insisted that Connally met with churchmen on an unrelated matter, and Big John branded any connection "a vicious, malicious, irresponsible story." Gay was in town for a meeting of the University...
