...centrality of Memorial Church stems, instead, from the early 1920s, when university president—and renowned bigot—A. Lawrence Lowell first promoted the controversial idea of a new chapel as a memorial to graduates who had died fighting in World War I. Fervent protest quickly flared up in response. A 1921 editorial in The New York Times read that “a memorial to men of different sects shouldn’t be religious” and a 1931 editorial in The Crimson eloquently concluded, “To railroad through the University a War Memorial...
...wedding day, perky Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) is pacing outside the chapel when, darn the luck, she's assaulted by a meteor. She stumbles into the ceremony, where she quickly expands to an unsuitable size - 49 ft. 11½ in., to be exact.

Sheehan quit her protest, disillusioned with both Republican and Democratic leaders, in 2007. The once flattened roadside grass, parched yellow by drought, now stands straight. The only movement is a hawk landing...
...distressingly clear picture of what's going on in Las Vegas these days. To the south, there's a casino project that has ground to a halt, half built, its steel skeleton an outline of a multibillion-dollar dream gone hungry. Across the street, there's a Modernist chapel, a lonely vigil of virtue on the Strip - people seek salvation elsewhere in this town. Look west toward the mountains and you can trace the Vegas real estate developers' dash toward the horizon with building projects. Now as far as you can drive, there are foreclosed homes and empty new developments...
