...Coach Robert Dougherty weighs 195, stands 6 ft. 1 in., is still hard-muscled enough to 'take my turn with the boys" during football workouts at Chicago's Harrison High School. Because he has two children in college, and needs more than his $7,000 yearly salary as football coach and director of physical education to keep them there, Dougherty also takes his turn three nights a week as a taxicab driver.

Seven generations have passed since Moses covenanted with Yahweh to worship Him alone. In that time the wheel has turned full circle: the people of Gilead. "grown fat on the oil and milk of the land," are not only a fragment of a disunited Israel but have become easygoing polytheists. Yahweh is no longer the fire-god of Sinai; he is merely one of many gods that dwell in the hills...
