Organizer Edward LeStage said he was confident the numbers would grow during the week. "The word is going out," LeStage said. "We're here for the duration. We'll be staying until the FBI leaves Jordan." The Idaho...

Jonathan Hullah is from Sioux Lookout which, he tells us, lies "nearly 2000 miles northwest of Toronto." Although this sounds to an American like code for the North Pole, the narrative stays in the township long enough to give the young Hullah a youthful bout with scarlet fever (childhood disease is a favorite repeated trope of Davies), the friendship of an Indian healer and wise woman named Mrs. Smoke (who saves him with neither scalpel nor the Merck Manual) and a lifelong interest in medicine, especially non-traditional medicine...
