Such ignorance and lack of discrimination pained our urban "intellectuals," but it was the latter, not the former, who were confounded when Stalin joined hands with . . . Hitler and invaded the Baltic States. Moreover, these same Americans rejected Communism with contempt, saying in effect: "I don't want no bureaucrat telling me what to do."

...stayed just long enough to meet and marry Sarah Hardwick. (Said he on his 40th wedding anniversary: "I believe the Lord sent me there so I could find my wife.") Then he served successively at two wealthy, influential parishes: Grace Church, Chicago; St. Thomas', New York. At the latter he reared what many a critic considers the loveliest Gothic church in the U. S., increased the annual income from $90,000 to $600,000, of which $550,000 went for purposes outside the parish...
