...Healer. As she fights for a place in the old order, Westwood will have some imitators among McGovernites on the local and state levels. As separate entities, McGovern organizations largely self-destructed this week. But many local workers will stay on to fight another day-within the established party apparatus. Time and again, party regulars who could not take McGovern have warmed up to some of his youthful supporters. If there was ever a chance for a collision, it was in Chicago when the McGovernites arrived. The Daley regulars had braced for the worst, only to be pleasantly shocked when...

...embarrassing attempt to deal with the strangeness of being a pastor. Buechner, however, seems to have found an acceptable way to deal with religious mysteries in fiction. His stratagem is to leave the I very existence of such mysteries an open question. As a faith healer Bebb is certainly half a fraud, and possibly two halves of one. But Antonio accepts Bebb without worrying much about his genuineness, and the reader is left with the lightest and least insistent of uncertainties. Another question is left, too: whether this indefiniteness is merely tact, or a measure of the author...
