...Race. Deion Sanders thinks this a key reason--and I believe him. Despite the accomplishments of Doug Williams, Randall Cunningham and Warren Moon, a racist myth prevails: blacks aren't smart enough to be quarterbacks. They lack the "necessities," as Dodger executive Al Campaigns once put it, referring go black managers...

The dances range from company member Kevin O'Day's first choreography to Signals, an early '70s work by Merce Cunningham that has gone through many versions.

But the church remains suspicious of reports of supernatural interventions, notes Lawrence Cunningham, chairman of the theology department at Notre Dame. Cunningham has little use for the present popular fervor. "If people want to get in touch with their angels, they should help the poor. If they want to get in touch with their angels, they'd be a lot better off working...
