...been Mr. Ormiston's companion. Mrs. Kimball claimed "defamation of character," and sued Evangelist McPherson for $1,000,000. Last week, Mrs. Kimball's lawyer announced that the suit had been settled out of court.

...enough, geologically, anthropologically. But Deluge announces itself not as a prophetic tract on social philosophy, but as romance, thus defying comparison with The Republic of Plato, or More's Utopia, or even Gulliver's Travels.
