...libretto (by TV Writer Anne Howard Bailey) is a variation on an incident from Young's life: a young girl brought to him to become his 25th and last wife falls in love instead with a non-Mormon Union Army officer; in a sacrificial gesture Young renounces his claim on her and sends her forth from Deseret to marry the man she loves. In a somewhat overwrought revelation, Young sees the lovers' departure as an omen of the day when "Deseret too will go out into the great world . . ." Composer Kastle provided a surgingly lyrical score admirably suited...
...Cabinet members averaged 47, four years older than the President-elect himself. There were six Protestants, two Jews, one Roman Catholic and one Mormon, or-to put it another way-three Governors, two businessmen, two lawyers, two State Department hands and a Congressman.

A member of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, Udall holds strong opinions favoring public power, new conservation programs and greater understanding of Indian problems...
With Smiles & Songs. After the Mormons finally agreed to stop multiple marriages, Utah was admitted into the Union in 1896. Despite the limitations of monogamy, Smith has a sizable Mormon brood: eleven children, 54 grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren. His third wife, Jessie (the first two died), is a soloist in the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir. All the family adhere strictly to the Mormon regime of no coffee, tea or alcoholic beverage. One Brazilian jovially complained to Elder Smith last week: "The danger to the world today is not Communism, but Mormonism. You people work fast in our country with smiles...
