...afternoon, as the Inauguration parade winds down Pennsylvania Avenue, 120 men and women will move the Clintons out and the new First Family in, lock stock and canary if there is one. And the old mansion will be aglow in the winter light and ready to write a new chapter, with its 132 rooms cleaned and polished, its tennis court, jogging track, putting green, basketball hoop, swimming pool, theater, bowling alley and weight room fit for exercise. And in its offices, the fate of the world will continue to be deliberated, amid 500 priceless paintings and sculptures that tell...
Were Lincoln at Home not merely the length of a chapter in one of Donald's previous endeavors, it might be easier to view what he's compiled as worthy of tremendous respect. Yet as the work stands, with 32 pages of continuous text in 18 point font followed by 55 pages of reprinted, often sentence long-letters, Donald has written a chapter, picked out some primary texts for those interested readers, and has called it a book.

Not only did the decision close a "distant and troubled chapter in Lloyd's history," he said, but it would allow Lloyd's to "get on with the business of running the world's foremost specialist insurance market." As Taylor put it in an interview with TIME, "We couldn't have wished for a more unequivocal decision...
...from a shuttered existence. Others live in apartment complexes and work in boardrooms, indistinguishable from their secular counterparts. All seem inclined toward frank discussion of their faith--from describing morning prayers as "spiritual Drano" to accepting the likely demise of their vocation as part of God's plan. A chapter on sex and celibacy depicts enough furtive sexual encounters to satisfy salacious readers. But Kaylin presses beyond the prurient, and one nun's view of celibacy as deliverance (from gender stereotypes, makeup and shopping) is far more provocative...
