[Haruo here, horning in on the Mrs's cookie] "The more it changes, the more it's the same thing." One of those French proverbs that you sometimes run across, untranslated, in English books (less often in American ones). The Rock in the title was Jesus, the hard place was Washington, DC. Regardless of what you think of the appropriateness of such "political" speech in church (and Hatfield did not view that as political speech), it's a fascinating read, and if you're my generation or older it'll take you back to the day; and you can get a used copy via Amazon for less than $5 postpaid. I don't think there's a Kindle version (yet?). Speaking of which , I have downloaded Amazon's free Kindle-for-PC software, so if any of you want to lend me you Kindle versions, I can at least take a stab at reading them.
Don't despair if your job and your rewards are few, remember that the mighty oak was once a nut like you!
