That is one way the family surmounts crises: each member faces problems headon. Betty Ford has been the most badly hit, during the past year, by the discovery of a cancerous tumor that required removal of her right breast last September. But aside from a regimen of daily pills for one week out of every six, she has been able to ignore the disease and it has made no reappearance since her operation. She also suffers from a painful arthritic back, but even that rarely darkens her spirits. Despite her husband's mammoth work load, she finds that...
Morehouse brushes aside such criticism. He argues that most exercise programs are simply too tough for the sedentary, while his regimen at least gets them up and moving. His argument is persuasive.

When his trysts with the church organist and other assorted supplicants are exposed, Marshfield is shipped West for a month's rest to a desert spa for troubled clergymen. The regimen is ecumenical. There is golf in the afternoon, poker at night and daiquiris whenever. Mornings are spent alone at an obligatory typewriter, where orgies of therapeutic confession are the order...
