T H E C A L L TO ADVENTURE T h e hero is presented with a problem, challenge, or adventure to undertake. Once presented with a Call to Adventure, she can no longer remain indefinitely in the comfort of the Ordinary World. Perhaps the land is dying, as in the King Arthur stories of the search for the Grail, the only treasure that can heal the wounded land.

Kelly smiled, paused to enjoy my confused look, and handed me the holy grail: "You need to talk to Brian MacKenzie." Two and a Half Weeks Later I could tell Louisville, Colorado, wasn't going to be kind to me. My rst glass of wine was only half empty, and the 5,300 feet of elevation made it feel like my third.

Newbold, 54, a brilliant man who had stood first in his class of 1887 at Pennsylvania, had wide-ranging interests, many of which had in common an element of the occult—spiritism, the Gnostics, the Great Chalice of Antioch, supposed by some to be the actual chalice of the Last Supper, which, is known in legend as the Holy Grail. He knew many languages and later became proficient in cryptanalysis: in 1922, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, thanked him for his "time and trouble in deciphering espionage correspondence that had baffled the Department here in Washington."
