...PEACEABLE KINGDOM by JAN DE HARTOG 677 pages. Atheneum...
...unique. Like lovers, they are of course right. But the passion for God, like other passions, obeys certain plot patterns-all subject to certain beginnings, middles and ends. The kindling, the cooling and the rekindling of the Quakers is the present theme of Dutch Novelist-Playwright Jan de Hartog.

But she swooned gracefully away when she was named the winner. Smelling salts brought her to for the presentation of a $7,000 check and a ceremonial visit to the Lord Mayor at Guildhall. Next will come a trip home for Christmas to the family cattle ranch in Piura, said Madeleine, who sold her car to get air fare to Paris to begin a career as a model...
