The Western Region is the home of the Yoruba, a tribe known for its profusion of gods (more than 400) and its joie de vivre.

Philip, an infantryman during World War II, was ordained in 1955 in the Josephite...
...black and white, Cleveland Adman Frank T. McDonough, 64, re-sodded lawns in a seven-block area in Hough, the city's ghetto. He has since marked 40 more blocks for the same treatment. "Some day I knew I was going to see my Maker," said McDonough, a devout Roman Catholic, "and he would say: 'You knew what was going on, what did you do about it?' I knew I'd better have an answer...
