...Critics fret that small, pastorless groups can become doctrinally or even socially unmoored. Thom Rainer, a Southern Baptist who has written extensively on church growth, says, "I have no problem with where a church meets, [but] I do think that there are some house churches that, in their desire to move in different directions, have perhaps moved from biblical accountability." In extreme circumstances home churches dominated by magnetic but unorthodox leaders can shade over the line into cults...
...Wonderful World of Common Casting," reads a chalked sign in the Loeb Ex’s black box theatre, a surreal room transformed by candy, a functioning green swing, and drum beat soundtrack. Returning actors greet one another with full body hugs, while nervous novices and first-years fret over potentially awkward interaction with strangers, especially when directed to act "sexual, but not explicit...
...Fret all you want about rising energy costs and a housing slowdown. Yes, both are drags on the economy, which appears to be slowing.

I certainly don't recall the tabloids savaging then Conservative Party leader William Hague in 2000 when he boasted that he used...

Radio bulletins told of a seven o'clock twister that picked up and dumped a stretch of asphalt on cars near Star City, Ark., killing seven people, and the first squalls hit Memphis half an hour later in slanted sheets of rain. Phone calls from the Lorraine to Lawson in Mason Temple verified that the crowd indeed was thin--perhaps fewer than 2,000 in the huge hall that had packed seven times that many for King's visit...
