...English compositions (of Lindbergh's) reveal some playfulness about the rigors of academia but an equal lack of respect for them as well. One was a story about a clergyman presenting his passport to St. Peter, only to be turned away because of his failure on earth to use the serial comma; "[a] pity," Peter states, "to permit so many minor mechanical errors to bar good material from eternal commendation."
