On the December 20 edition of The World there was a segment entitled
"In Taiwan, the gods have a grip on politics” by Patrick Winn with summary

"Taiwan is replete with Taoist temples: sacred grounds where the faithful
seek blessings. Recently, politicians have been seeking both the gods' and
voters' favor. Election season is in high gear — Taiwan chooses its next
government on Jan. 13 — and candidates are converging on temples,
demonstrating their piety to the public. The World’s Patrick Winn follows a
would-be lawmaker facing a tough race, as she campaigns at a Taoist
temple.”
