His nearly-completed novel, After Many a Summer Dies the Swan, is scheduled for publication this fall. A realistic fantasy, it tells of a rich man who tries to prolong his life scientifically, eventually reverts toward...

Hiding behind it was Judge Harry Thomas Dewhirst, head of the famed House of David. Male members of this U. S. cult neither shave nor trim their locks, eat no flesh, in the stout belief that thus they will be among the 144,000 elect when Gabriel blows his horn.
