...members are more than willing to get arrested, and they are notoriously slow walkers when they get arrested. They are told to take tiny mincing steps as they walk to the paddy-wagon, and the police are not supposed to forcibly drag or carry someone who is walking to the paddy-wagon, even if they are traveling at a snail's pace...
...courtesy calls on the Washington establishment, a kind of reverse welcome wagon that Carter self-righteously shunned.

That once small choir soon became one of the world's finest battalion-size forces (325 singers), reason enough for Sony Music to reissue some of the MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR'S top hits. The five-CD set includes hymns, Civil War songs and American standards. The choir's ringing harmonies and bright tones are perfectly suited to chorales (Sheep May Safely Graze, with its heavenly shifting of voices) or patriotic marches (The Caissons...
