Salon tells of friendship between Lewis and Tolkien
A cover story on "the new evangelicals" isn't all that shocking from U.S. News & World Report, which has long seen its religion cover stories among its best-sellers. But a religion story as the lead for Salon.com is another thing altogether. But perhaps the most shocking thing about its tale of C.S. Lewis's conversion and friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien, given the standard fare of the online magazine, is that there's no sex or innuendo anywhere in the article—not that there could be, given the topic—though there's one f-word. (Salon just can't help it.) Go read the article (you'll have to watch a brief commercial) then come back to our site for more on the friendship of these two men.
