Family Reunion. He was something of a character himself. To his children, N.C. seemed "a combination of Paul Bunyan and Santa Claus"; to keep that illusion alive, he would risk his neck each Christmas Eve to stomp noisily atop the icy roof of their house. To his neighbors near Chadds Ford, Pa. -where N.C. had settled in 1903 to study under another great illustrator, Howard Pyle-and in Maine, where he subsequently summered, Wyeth was a big-hearted man, equally at home with farmers and fishermen...

"I wanted to make the drug available to people who had never taken it, but those who came had used it too many times before." She made the offer, she says...
...myth, like Santa Claus. The God myth is dying, with our energetic help. The myth was born in the minds of ignorant, superstitious Stone-Age men and has been exploited by ancient and modern witch doctors to the immense profit of the priest clan. The modern preacher finds the glorification of his imaginary god less profitable than support of civil rights and social reforms; hence his slogan, "God is dead...
