...October Richard Roberts, 59, told students the suit amounted to "intimidation, blackmail and extortion," and appeared with his wife on Larry King Live to deny the allegations. Nevertheless, on October 17 Richard took a leave of absence from the university presidency and Oral Roberts returned to the campus chapel last Monday to announce, "The devil is not going to steal O.R.U."

He sees his work as an antidote to the consuming spectacles of our time-TV, video, computer games-so he would rather not turn into a spectacle himself. His ambition is not just to delight people but also to awaken them out of a passive relation to the world. Whether this is a job mere art can accomplish remains to be seen. But it helps to explain why Eliasson has given quite...
