There are gaps in Johnson's book, some obviously by design. He disdains to rerun the story of Henry VIII's war with the papacy over his divorce, assuming that most English-speaking readers know it already. At other times, though, particularly in his discussion of more recent times, Johnson's book has some peculiar lacunae. There is not a word about Russian Orthodoxy under the Czars, or under Communism. Nor about pentecostalism, a significant force in American Christianity since the turn of the century and now a phenomenon world wide. He barely touches on the Protestant...
...Good Day. Considered third in the contest, Clark is hoping for a rerun of his surprise victory in the 1974 senatorial primary. He still roams the streets in his Hush Puppies and narrow ties, chatting with voters if they are in a mood to listen, blending into the crowd if they are not.

Concerned by this unexpected twist, and by the fundamental international economic problems that lie behind it, U.S. officials decided it was time for a rerun of last fall's six-nation summit meeting at Château de Rambouillet...
...ghost from the past, an ancient blue-and-silver Swallow biplane last week zipped down the runway and into a dawn sky over Pasco, Wash. About two hours and 244 miles later the tiny two-seater landed at Boise, Idaho, to a cheering crowd. The journey was a rerun of the nation's first airmail flight by an outfit (Varney Air Lines) that later became part of United Airlines, and its purpose was to mark a half-century of commercial aviation in the U.S. The milestone, however, comes at a less than auspicious time for most major carriers.
