The Church

In 1822, from his Conway home in the shadow of New Hampshire's White Mountains, one Dr. Porter surveyed the nation's religious landscape and prophesied, “in half a century there will be no Pagans, Jews, Mohammedans, Unitarians or Methodists.” The prophecy proved false on all counts, but it was most glaringly false in the case of the Methodists. In less than a decade, Porter's home state became the eighth to elect a Methodist governor. Should Porter have fled south into Massachusetts to escape the rising Methodist tide, he would only have been buying time. True, the citizens of Provincetown, Massachusetts, had, in 1795, razed a Methodist meetinghouse and tarred and feathered a Methodist in effigy. By 1851, however, the Methodists boasted a swelling Cape Cod membership, a majority of the church members on Martha's Vineyard, and a governor in the Massachusetts statehouse.

Alfred Kinsey

Infatuated with his secretary Florence Norton, Eastman completes the first volume of his tell-all autobiography, Enjoyment of Living, a testament to his prodigious erotic energies that leads critics to compare him with sexologist Alfred Kinsey. Trips for Reader’s Digest lead him to Italy, Greece, Norway, and Ireland. Now a vocal anticommunist, Max condemns McCarthy but not the idea behind McCarthyism and joins the editorial board of William Buckley’s National Review. After being diagnosed with cancer, Eliena Krylenko Eastman dies on October 9, 1956, at their Martha’s Vineyard home, leaving Max “in the shadows,” as a mutual friend observed.
