Pike and Dirksen Figures in Turbulent Times Across 1960s
The obituary record highlights Earl Pike found buried in Holy Land after an exhausting odyssey with spiritualism and mediums. It details his church shifts from Roman Catholic to Episcopal, his trial-like clashes over theology, and his later religious foundation. It also profiles Senator Everett Dirksen’s long political arc from Pekin to the Senate, his pivotal votes on civil rights, his wit in public life, and his death. The piece closes with Gavin Maxwell, author of Ring of Bright Water, passing away in Scotland at 54.
