These words have provided comfort and strength for more than 3, 000 years: "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest...

But one worl...

Set during the post-World-War-I oil boom, it culminates in a courtroom drama pitting powerful lawyers against each other with the life of a wildly popular--and equally loathed--religious leader hanging in the balance.

But Mrs. Harding (some called her "The Duchess") had one condition-Hamon, a married man, had to end his affair with his long-time mistres...

JOHN F. KENNEDY and RICHARD M. NIXON met for the first time in early 1947, when they became part of the 80th Congress. A few months later-and thirteen years before their historic competition for the presidency-they traveled to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, where they debated the merits of a new labor law. But their minds were on bigger things. As fate would have it, Jack and Dick shared a Pullman compartment on a train for the overnight ...
