...should be pushed upward and forward in the Eisenhower-led G.O.P. In pointing to men like Craig as the coming leaders of the party, the President has recognized a key fact of political life in the U.S.: much of the government and most of the politics sprout and grow in the states; what happens in the 48 capitals has a determining effect on the caliber of men who appear in national politics and on the quality of government they produce...
Residents of Penticton (pop. 14,000) grow fruit to earn their living, but they live for hockey.

His noticeable talents for talking to birds, healing children and making plums grow on cherry trees have forced the bishop to banish him to a remote country parish. There, in the form of a worldly baron, appears an emissary of the Devil, panting after such a trophy as the soul of a saint. Under the baron's prodding, the canon begins to think he really is a saint...
