Lee Udall Bennion: A Quiet Interview, Doris R. Dant

BYU Studies

Typical of the way artist Lee Bennion interweaves her family life and her work are the setting and events of the morning of this interview. When I arrived at her Spring City, Utah, home on September 23, 1996, Lee was canning tomatoes from her garden. She seated me at her dining room table for the interview, but her husband, Joe, came in to eat, and Adah, her youngest daughter, asked to have her hair braided. Unflustered by the interruptions, Lee simply offered me a slice of homemade bread and met her family's needs before returning to the business of the …

On Being Mormon In Canada And Canadian In Utah, Maureen Ursenbach Beecher

BYU Studies

Peter Gzowski, a name unpronouncable to Americans, is a byword to Canadians. Weekday mornings, CBC radio listeners hear his wry comments and sage interviews reflecting Canadian life on Morningside. In the mid-seventies, when Morningside was still This Country in the Morning, Gzowski ran a contest asking listeners to finish this sentence: "As Canadian as..." Entries poured in: "As Canadian as a toboggan" or "As Canadian as Diefenbaker." But the grand-slam winner was unforgettable: "As Canadian as possible, under the circumstances."

Expressions Of Faith: Testimonies Of Latter-Day Saint Scholars, Susan Eaton Black

Maxwell Institute Publications

The news media often characterizes some detractors of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as “Mormon intellectuals” and presents them to the public as the thinking Mormons who know the inside story of the church. In this rush to produce controversial news, an obvious truth has been overlooked—that the LDS intellectual and academic communities are composed of strong believers in the Prophet Joseph Smith’s revelations and solid supporters of LDS Church leadership. Only at the fringes is there noticeable dissent.

Readers of Expressions of Faith will discover a marvelous, uncoached unity in these testimonies of LDS scholars. Although …
