...entrenched member of the Washington establishment and an ill-equipped leader. If the G.O.P. picks Reagan, Carter will attack him as a potentially dangerous extremist. For the most part, however, his chief emphasis will be on setting forth his positions on the issues and on spreading the gospel according to Carter: love, compassion and integrity...
George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess -that wondrous mix of jazz, blues, gospel, Broadway and European romanticism-is a treasure that has been hoarded too long.

Now come the Methodists -not a new denomination at this point but an order of Anglican laymen who preach the revivalist Gospel and establish prayer cells. Rankin, who arrived from England in 1773, is their current American leader. Although some see them as "a church within a church," the Methodists profess religious loyalty to the Church of England. In fact, one hot-head was ejected from a Methodist society recently for usurping...
