...until he died of cancer six years ago, one tough Irishman was in charge. Arthur J. Cooney ("Tony" was his fellow construction workers' misunderstanding of "Cooney") applied the two disciplines of his life, the Merchant Marine and ironworking, to rearing children. The amalgam amounted to walking a narrow beam at attention. Sometimes Eileen Cooney wonders if her sons did not see gyms as sanctuaries.

CBN, however, is by far the largest notch in the electronic Bible Belt, and its 387-acre headquarters in Virginia Beach, Va., clearly reflects its status. The $35 million complex boasts a $22 million state-of-the-art studio, a university that offers graduate courses in communications and education, and a headquarters shaped like a cross. When an announcer quotes U.N. figures on overpopulation and the screen...
