...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."

...weather project was Eliasson's Sistine Chapel, and it made him a star of some magnitude, a role he's still not quite comfortable with. 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.
