Presented to: Clifton Holt Jolley
For: "Selling the Chevrolet: A Moral Exercise"
The judges stated, "Jolley's well-written, lighthearted, yet serious sequel to Eugene England's earlier article "Blessing the Chevrolet" demonstrates the power of humorous writing in reinforcing and promoting the Mormon world view. Positing a purposeful, God-centered universe, Jolley, whose delightful column in the Deseret News has gathered a large and appreciative audience, plays in this article on the incongruity between skepticism and faith--and refreshingly allows skepticism to take it on the chin from an unassuming but confident (and surprised) faith."
