“Welcome to our leadership issue. We have a religious leader denying the world’s end, the blind leading the blind, a big sister fixing something not quite right, a spirit leading in the dance, a well-boned beauty leading a lad into strange addiction, folks both singing and smoking the lead, plus a place to go if it doesn’t work out.”
