Harvard does not insult the devout as much as it assaults religion itself, and Gomes takes "the life of the mind" seriously. But by his own definition, a good preacher "is not apologetic about his role as a Christian in what is easily called a post-Christian age." Harvard offers an additional insidious pitfall: "You must deal with power," Gomes says. "Harvard is full of powerful people, but you must not be seduced or corrupted by power. You walk a very tight rope...
...politician who projects complete sincerity, Ford has rapidly become the hottest G.O.P. property in the era of Watergate. He is now the ceremonial head of the party; Republicans want him, not Nixon, as the keynote speaker at their fund-raising dinners.

In conversation, the President usually leads off his private list of possible Republican standard-bearers with his deputy's name.

You don't know why the devil picked on little Regan. You don't konw why the two priests die. You don't even get told how an exorcism works...
...analysis needs a facelift before it can tackle the woman problem. Her shrinks are half people--rigidly attuned to convention, reactionary vis-a-vis the issues of the family, the position of women, the cash transactions from patient to doctor. But problem patient as she might be, she is devout about the rule of the trade: "But first we must understand the problem." Make the unconscious conscious, burn the shadowy fantasies of your netherworld out of their holes. So to illuminate what happens in the mind in between conscious desire and conscious action. But analysis, a tool to explore...
