...first half of the book would be most fascinating for anyone curious about apocalyptic movements and Christian history in general. Gould's research is thorough, and, considering the subject matter, he does a decent job of not sounding like a textbook.

...change for the sake of real progress, change for the sake of our faculty and students (i.e., decent offices and classrooms in the Barker Center) is, of course, necessary. So I've come to grips about the English Department's losing Warren House. Construction is ongoing now on that building, and workers are cleaning the bathroom of the fictional bloodstains from Amanda Cross (a.k.a. Carolyn Heilbrun)'s Death in a Tenured Position so that the Women Studies Program will soon have a new old space to call its own, smack dab on top of the scene of the original crime...

Matt Williams (Roseanne) co-created last spring's decent midseason replacement Soul Man, which has Aykroyd as a widowed gang member turned minister raising four kids. UPN's Good News has some nice gospel tunes but is both theologically and comically weak. Teen Angel is just another preteen T.G.I.F. show, only dumber. The Visitor is a brash but effective attempt to meld Angel and The X-Files; one of its executive producers is John Masius, creator of Angel...

...President who plays the best darn game of golf possible, so TIME called in some experts for their advice. Below, Claude ("Butch") Harmon Jr.--famed swing doctor to Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Davis Love III--gives his detailed suggestions for the presidential stroke. "The President has a decent swing. If he had more time to practice, it would be better," says Harmon. "I'm sure his swing is going to be better in four years." CBS golf commentator Gary McCord offers a similar critique to the First Golfer: strengthen your grip, swing more outside and keep your left heel...
