INCREDIBLE VICTORY, by Walter Lord. The 1942 Battle of Midway, refought through the recollections of survivors on both sides in a manner that conveys the dizzying tilt of every sinking ship...
Preparation for temple marriage begins with the most closely guarded and one of the most sacred of Mormon rites: the endowments, or joint covenants between the couple and God to fulfill his commandments and practice the Gospel.

Such bravado delights Britons, even if few believe the lord's prediction that, with future economies, coal, which supplied 90% of Britain's fuel needs in 1950, can keep its current 64% share...
