...were three longtime and trusted lieutenants from the Hughes empire. They were Raymond Holliday, executive vice president of the Hughes Tool Co. of Houston, the castle keep of the boss's corporate kingdom; Frank W. Gay, senior vice president of that company and a onetime member of the Mormon corps around Hughes; and Chester C. Davis, Hughes' longtime lawyer. On the other side was Robert Maheu (pronounced May-hew), 53, a bulky, pink-cheeked man who, after only Hughes himself, had become the second most powerful figure in Nevada.

...unique position as the source of church revelation. He used his power with clear authority, but he was even better known for his gentleness and good humor. Tall and strong-voiced, his amiable face framed by a shock of flowing white hair, McKay was an affable new image of Mormonism to a world that had previously seen the Mormon leaders as dour, dark-suited figures. He was perhaps the first Mormon president to treat non-Mormons as generously as members of his own faith...
