And Nixon Southern Strategist and Billy Graham Crusade chair Harry Dent's daughter has written a book about her father's religious pilgrimage.

Ginny's older sister Dolly was at Furman for two years while I was there; herself a beautiful young woman like her one time model sister, Ginny. Class year 72-73 right after Nixon landslide defeated McGovern, not long before Watergate hit stride, Dent spoke on campus, the yearbook calling Furman that year in Nixonland, Furman somewhere between Bob Jones and Woodstock.
I remember the packed room Q and A session follwing Dent's speech; and Dolly's humanity; her hurt on the strong questions her father was getting from students that day.
I have emailed Ginny that I voted for Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Obama; but looking forward to reading her book; framing my thinking in Marshall Frady's bio of Graham, and Steven Miller's work on Graham and Nixon.
