...other televangelists. Falwell admits that proceeds at various enterprises in Lynchburg were down $2 million in April; Jimmy Swaggart reports a $1.5 million decline for that month. The Rev. Robert Schuller of Garden Grove, Calif., whose popular Hour of Power is carried by 172 TV stations, shows a 3% dip in donations so far in 1987, but he does not consider that necessarily a result of the PTL scandal. The televangelist with the most to lose is the one with the biggest video operation, Republican Presidential Candidate Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network. He briefly took time out from...
...weak opinion, and the skin on her hand < feels like pie dough rolled on an enamel tabletop. (Let me give you a hand, Mom.) A Whistler pose, she is content to sit staring outward much of the time, as if on the deck of a Cunard liner, or to dip into that biography of Abigail Adams you gave her (a lady for a lady), at manageable intervals. Television interests her not, except occasionally the nature shows that PBS specializes in. Motionless before the mating eland. The memory clicks on and off. The older the anecdote, the clearer in detail. Typical...
...rising swiftly in the standings. The European firm last year won nearly 25% of worldwide jet orders, up from 11% in 1985, according to the Montreal- based International Civil Aviation Organization. At the same time, Seattle's Boeing has watched its share of the business dip from 58% to 49%. St. Louis- based McDonnell Douglas, meanwhile, has slipped into third place with 17%, down from 19% the previous year, although some industry analysts believe McDonnell Douglas may regain its No. 2 position...
...biggest of the big-time Christian TV entrepreneurs, Pat Robertson, was uninvolved in the Bakker scandal. Nonetheless, after the incident became public, a survey for Robertson noted a slight dip in his standing as a potential candidate. In polls he has been running at a flat 6% to 8%, trailing George Bush, Robert Dole and Jack Kemp. The gospel TV controversy does nothing to help Robertson, and appears quite likely to increase nationwide skepticism about Christian telecasters and weaken Robertson's appeal...
...short of arbitration eligibility, he is the sorest of all the unhappy players automatically renewed by their clubs (in his case for $450,000, up $110,000). Two weeks ago Clemens stomped out. Over in the Mets' camp, this year's Gooden is trimmer and happier and thinks his dip last season from 24-4 to 17-6 may be traced in part to a mouthful of abscessed teeth. "Some games, I took a lot of pain pills." Missing his gold front tooth for the first time as a pro, Gooden went out last week with a perfect smile...
