Yeah, that part was a bit tedious, but interesting in a way. That whole shortwave program was a kick.

I was particularly impressed with the chapter on the expansion of BYU under Wilkenson. I wonder if BYU would be what it is today without his drive and manipulation of the system.

How could a good Ute like Mckay ever let that happen?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

Most of it is about Mormons. I've read it twice.
I'd like to read that one.
