Religion: The Senior Apostle
(2 of 2)
Apostle Smith is next in line for the presidency of the church, now held by David O. McKay, 87, by virtue of his seniority in the Council of the Twelve. Cracks Smith: "Think of all the Mormons who have to die before a man gets to be president." A fiery doctrinarian, he has written a dozen books on Mormon dogma. Preaching in Brazil last week, Elder Smith well knew that, like his father and great-uncle, he may soon be called to the post in which, as Prophet of his church, he would communicate directly with the Lord.
