Both Messrs. De Vries and Wanderhope grew up in Chicago, among immigrant Dutch Calvinists who argued about God all day and were forbidden such commonplace diversions as movies, dancing and card-playing (but smoking was allowed, and they puffed away with compensatory relish). ???We were the elect,??? Mr. De Vries once explained, ???and the elect are barred from everything, you know, except heaven.?
