...Fenway faithful will get a first live peek at the 1974 "New Look" Red Sox this afternoon. Assuming, of course, that yesterday's nor' easter doesn't decide to hang around another day. Over 30,000 are expected to be on hand to hear Rene Rancourt of the Boston Conservatory of Music deliver the National Anthem for the flag-raising...

But another service there also reflects centuries of Latin tradition, as parishioners take parts-Roman soldiers, Jesus carrying the cross-in a Good Friday procession. In Gary, Ind., a black community church goes in for karate lessons and the gospel of liberation, but the rich hymn singing and some of the rolling language from the pulpit recall old-fashioned black Baptist devotion: "Thank you Lord, for all of your...
