...Abbott was born with just a rudimentary finger on his right hand 21 years ago to teenage parents. His father packed meat and sold cars.

For Lorenzo, the intense chairman of Eastern's parent firm, Texas Air, the prospects were no better: the nation's seventh largest airline was clearly in for a bone-jarring ride, huge financial losses and a very uncertain landing...
...much in the business of preaching as entertaining. The six men, who perform with no instruments except their heaven-sent voices, count themselves among the world's more unusual evangelists. "Our mission," says bass Alvin Chea, "is to take the word of Christ into places it doesn't ordinarily go."
