He also said this about Graham, and about cheap balm: Belief and unbelief are a disagreement, but they do not disagree about what is significant, and the vocabulary in which they conduct their disagreement is for certain purposes the only adequate vocabulary. And so Billy Graham's degradation of that vocabulary should have sent all intelligent souls in perplexity running from the church. Of course the air outside the church is not exactly thick with lucidity: at Yankee Stadium last Sunday, at the conclusion of the greatest afternoon in the history of American pluralism, Oprah Winfrey imparted the superstition that "when you lose a loved one, you gain an angel whose name you know." No, you do not.

children of JFK were dressed in white "because of the joy they had that their father was in heaven." Well, whoever said that probably had their own agenda. Little John-John was three at the time, I think. Caroline wasn't quite six. They presumably wore what their mother picked out for them. Jackie had her own symbolic agenda, but given her experience with the straightlaced and upright religiousity of the Kennedy clan (cough), I don't imagine piety was quite at the top of the list. Thou shall not commit adultery, indeed.
