...Falwell's influence and wrote him off as a ranting, Bible-toting demagogue [May 28]. Falwell's rich life was about 5% politics, with the rest spent preaching biblical truth and establishing homes for alcoholics and unwed mothers. But his greatest living legacy-aside from the massive Thomas Road Baptist Church-is Liberty University, a growing Christian college that has 100,000 graduates and more than 21,000 students. They will be his final tribute, bearing his standard for decades. As for Falwell's "politics of division," Jesus said, "Do not suppose I have come to bring peace...
...visitors, 14-4.October played out in similar fashion: Harvard never found a groove and instead experienced a period of turbulence. The Crimson ultimately posted a 4-5 record for the month. During its foray into California, the team underwent a three-game slump, losing to Iona, La Verne, and California Baptist.

...cities, the authorities tend to be advised by savvy attorneys who know that if they do things like that they will be in trouble. So you're more likely to see them in small towns that are, say, 95% Southern Baptist, where the town fathers were unlikely to be thinking about diversity but a small minority was upset by what seems like a civic religious gesture. Then the cases were picked up by ideologues on both sides - The ACLU or the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which is affiliated with Pat Robertson - to further their own agendas...
...marriage of religion and politics, since they hadn't lived apart in the first place. It was that he married political friends with religious enemies in pursuit of a common goal. Falwell, who died May 15, didn't care that Jimmy Carter was a Bible-believing Baptist if he still had the soul of a Democrat or that Ronald Reagan was a divorced cinemactor, as long as he was a kindred political spirit. At a time when you couldn't always get two Baptists of different stripes to work together on a bake sale, Falwell founded the Moral Majority...
