I have dealt with three Presidents-Nixon, Ford and this Carter. I can say that everything is improving...
...California, the Berkeley Christian Coalition evolved from a wing of the Jesus Movement revival that dealt with the street people, university students, hitchhikers, political radicals and occultists found nowadays in large college communities. It runs a free university, a youth ranch, a drop-in hostel, a street drama troupe, the sprightly Radix newspaper, and the unique Spiritual Counterfeits Project, which acts as a watchdog on Oriental and occult movements in the U.S. "Our objective," says S.C.P. Director Brooks Alexander, 41, "is to expose and counter the broad patterns of spiritual deception within our culture...
