Introduction to “The Angel’s Gift”

Everybody from Goethe to the highschool kid next door has written a story about a deal with the devil: you know, a tale in which a man sells his soul in exchange for worldy wealth and power. Sometimes the story ends happily, as in Stephen Vincent Benét’s “The Devil and Daniel Webster.” More often it’s a tragedy, such as “Faust.”

Here’s a story about a man making a deal with an angel. He has to give up all his wordly wealth and power in order to save his soul. I believe that this story explains the seemingly inexplicable fall of a former President of the United States.

Sort of.
