...Conduct that would ordinarily be unacceptable in this community is not rendered less problematic because it occurred while a member of the press was gathering information for an article or broadcast," the statement reads
Both responses to the Bible's first book have their own validity. Both--in more sophisticated form--were on display last week, when pbs launched the most ambitious Bible-study class ever to air on nationally broadcast television: a two-month series called Genesis: A Living Conversation, with Bill Moyers as host. Each of its 10 weekly episodes features a diverse panel grappling with the majestic, infuriating work, engaging both the stupendous acts of faith that inspired Fintel and the moral and ethical zig-zags that bedeviled Rabbi Visotzky. At the same time, a batch of new books, written...
...question, of course, is who will buy these books? And who will shun them because of their connection to a show some may see as apostasy? Doug Donaldson, who is selling the videotape of the Moyers shows for educational and home-video markets, says pre-broadcast sales have been "doing gangbusters," with one major exception: traditional religious distributors.

...enthusiastic response to his pre-broadcast promotion of the show would seem to support that observation. In Port Jervis, New York, an art gallery has opened an exhibit of Genesis scenes, while a nearby cancer center is using the series to foster communication between patients and their families. Between them, Women of Reform Judaism and United Methodist Women have sent out thousands of study guides on how to replicate the television discussion.

The act opens as a television broadcast hosted by a absurdly drunk Santa Claus (Lorenzo J. Moreno '00) and an amazingly facile and supinely cynical Rosemary Kennedy (Samantha S.B. van Gerbig '98). The applause signs signal the audience to cheer for Santa's anti-communist doings and Rosemary's front-lobeless plottings. Most of the rest of the show is reserved for an LSD-induced communist "Fantasia" which actually seems like a directorial reverie...
