...before we laugh it off, we must admit that there is something fundamentally unsettling about the idea of Hell. Even in Salem, the horror capital of Massachusetts, the most terrifying sight was not the man in the lab coat covered in body parts or any of the copious witches. It was a group of four Christians from Repent America, equipped with signs, megaphone, and fliers, out to warn us that, according to the words of Saint Paul emblazoned on one of their signs, “neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous...
...veterans of the Crusade founded an order of monastic knights to protect the travelers. They were allotted a headquarters in Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, viewed by Jews and many Christians as the site of the Temple of Solomon - hence the new group's name.

After discarding heaps of clothing, oblivious to an errant customer singing in the background, Chen finally settles (after some heckling with the Goodwill cashiers) on a sheer white nightgown, a gold and black sweater-vest, two white table runners, two grey T-shirts, a black...
...going to be made of newspaper, just to warn you,” Morton cautions with a grin. “It’s a conceptual outfit.” An hour later, Morton is at the cash register with her finds—a fur coat, a gray vest, and a pair of black leather ankle boots (for herself). After a minor blip involving receipts, she’s on her way back to Harvard for a film screening. “I’ll probably start working at ten or eleven,” she says...
