...horror to come; they go on as they always have-sailing, giving parties, worrying when their small daughter has a sore throat or fever. Moira Davidson at first seems to drink too much, but a Platonic relationship with Commander Towers soon settles her into the resigned-to-fate mold of the others...
...tourists were finding the peace of quiet ways and the charm of old things. Browsing through side-road antique stores, they gratefully swelled a business that has grown for four decades now, and keeps right on growing. Are antiques art? The mid-19th century farmer who carved a mold for his wife to make cookies for his little daughter's birthday would have smiled at the thought.

During much of their history, Americans did not give a pin for theology, preferring to view sin more in terms of hellfirers and heartwarmers in the mold of Jonathan Edwards or Billy Graham. In recent decades there has been a new, strong trend toward really heavy-duty thinking about the nature of God and man. Probably the deepest Protestant thought on these matters now goes on in the brain of Paul Tillich, an existentialist-minded theologian...
