Protestantism's first split was between the "magisterial" reformers, such as Luther and Calvin, who believed in national churches backed by state power, and the "radical" reformers, such as Anabaptists—men and women who wanted to form their own separate, perfect communities without waiting for the world to catch up with them.

The only shouts here were occasional encouraging yelps, as Mr. Esfahani made his way from a conventionally antiquarian opening, with Thomas Tomkins's Pavan in A and Giles Farnaby's "Woody-Cock," through a somewhat conservative modern coupling — Henry Cowell's "Set of Four" (1960) and Viktor Kalabis's "Three Aquarelles" (1979) — and back to Bach's magisterial Toccata in C minor (BWV 911).
Colin G. Calloway's The Indian World of George Washington is a magisterial correction to this omission, putting Washington's life in a context too often forgotten — from Washington's first foray into Indian diplomacy as a 21-year-old, trading a "string of wampum and a twist of tobacco," to the president who saw his nation's future in lands that still belonged to the Indians.

Carter's grandmother Eunice Carter, in "Invisible").
