...when Old McDonald, then 18, was out plowing, he "received the call . . . to go out and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ." He had no trouble becoming a preacher, but he didn't know anything. So he worked his way through school (meanwhile marrying and begetting two sons) and graduated, age 29; with highest honors. His wife graduated in the same class. Then Old McDonald set out to convert Oklahoma because "Oklahoma was bound for hell as straight and as fast as an Indian could shoot an arrow."

True, there were two German flyers named Garns and Rabbe, who had suddenly turned to God and gone to work for the mission.

His fifth symphony was performed in Moscow on the anniversary of the October Revolution before wildly cheering crowds. Contrary to what...
...roomy Iowa City house, where his principal hobby was gardening, he lived in dignified semiretirement, entertained a continual stream of distinguished visitors, shook a gentle fist at Bohemia and the big cities, and preached the gospel of U.S. regionalism and the Iowa soil. More than any other U.S. painter, he had expressed the unashamed simplicity and dignified realism that lay behind the complacent, materialistic exterior of rural Midwestern life. Other painters might see and paint again the plain, practical beauty of the Iowa landscape. But Grant Wood had discovered...
