Gerald Rafshoon, the President's image maker, explaining why Carter's popularity has diminished: "I've done...
Unlike C.S. Lewis, Sayers did not come late to religion. It was "no accident," she later wrote, that Gaudy Night, her penultimate detective work, and The Zeal of Thy House, her first religious drama, were "variations upon a hymn to the Master Maker."
