Zanuck) and onetime glamorous movie stars (such as Marilyn Monroe and Kirk Douglas) and that supreme hedonist Hugh Hefner have been brought down in the end to little markers and a small patch of grass (or less) in a relatively obscure and seldom-visited graveyard surrounded by busy skyscrapers full of people who are giving them no thought at all. \u00a0And the memorable performances and the great achievements are at an end; the stories are finished.<\/p>\n<p>It seems appropriate, in retrospect, to have visited that peaceful, melancholy Westwood Village cemetery and the Los Angeles California Temple in such close succession. \u00a0While the former testifies to the transience of human life and human glory, the latter points toward the continuation of human life amidst inconceivably greater glory and splendor. \u00a0Far greater achievements are to come. \u00a0Far grander accomplishments are ahead. \u00a0The stories continue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Posted from Newport Beach, California<\/p>\n<div class=\"mw-heading mw-heading3\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mw-heading mw-heading3\"><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 A new Interpreter Foundation video short was posted earlier today. \u00a0Entitled \u201cThe Book of Mormon Came from Somewhere!\u201d it features Professor Steven C.
