...onerous. Besides being responsible for the music in two Leipzig churches, Bach had minor chores at two others, even had to teach catechism and act as proctor to choirboys. His family obligations were increasing too. After the death of Barbara, he had married a professional singer named Anna Magdalena Wilcken in 1721; she became stepmother to the four surviving children, and was to bear him another 13 herself. Beyond all this, he found himself entangled in drawn-out quarrels with the church rector and the municipal council...

But on this particular morning, he and his wife Lenore hurried over to the polling place-to vote for George Wilcken Romney, 55, Republican candidate for Governor of Michigan. Many a politician might then have rewarded himself with a well-deserved rest on the day of days. But not Romney, a man of depthless energy and evangelical fervor about everything that engages his interest. On Election Day 1962, Romney went...
