...does not play fairly by comparing us unfavorably with Yale students who honored employees' picket lines last year: there has been no strike here, so no basis for comparison exists.

George's most famous Sunday school teacher, Carter devotes five pages in the book's introduction to a recap of the book of Genesis. Similarly, he describes how, during his first visit to Jerusalem he awoke before dawn to "catch a flavor" of the ancient city as if "might have been two thousands years earlier when Jesus strolled the same streets."
