...preachers. He sent each a letter filled with extremely pointed questions about their multimillion-dollar finances. The longest questionnaire, with 42 specific queries, went out to Copeland and his wife Gloria. Copeland is the founder and head of the multimillion-dollar Kenneth Copeland ministries, and the host in its crown jewel, the daily Believers Voice of Victory broadcast...
...mean by this concept of invincibility," asked an onlooker from the audience, made up mainly of film students with a smattering of meditation devotees.

A year ago, it was Columbia that clinched the Ivy League crown in Cambridge. However, that is pretty much all that the two seasons had in common for the Crimson. Harvard (10-6-1, 3-4-0) more than tripled its win total from last season. Despite ending the year on a low note after losing its final two games, the Crimson...
