Perhaps, but few in Wichita are complaining right now. Reflecting on the "drugs, violence and sexual issues" that high schoolers contend with today, the Rev. Tyrone Gordon, who pastors an integrated, mainline Wichita Methodist congregation, says of the largely white, evangelical See You population, "I am pretty proud of them for expressing themselves in the way that they are doing." His observations lead him to believe that "these are children who have made their decision and come to [God] on their own." Certainly the throng at the post-See You rally at Wichita's Metropolitan Complex auditorium seems self-propelled...
...three ministers of the moment--J. Philip Wogaman, Gordon MacDonald and Tony Campolo--are members of what was once a behind-the-scenes coterie of clergymen whose guidance Clinton has sought throughout his presidency. MacDonald and Campolo, both evangelical ministers, are spiritual celebrities, motivational speakers and authors of self-help books. Campolo, a sociology professor at Eastern College in St. Davids, Pa., describes himself as "politically liberal but theologically conservative" and has fought for justice for the urban poor and homosexuals. MacDonald, senior minister at interdenominational Grace Chapel in Lexington, Mass., admitted 11 years ago to an adulterous affair...

...students receive a double blow from learning-disabilities laws: not only is their learning in mixed classrooms often compromised, but they are also barred from reaping the benefits--small-group instruction, protection from discipline, extra time on standardized tests--afforded the learning-disabled students. That frustrates principals like Mary Gordon of Windsor Elementary School in Des Moines. There, learning-disabled first-graders who have trouble with reading get pulled out for periods of the day to attend a small-group session with a tutor; meanwhile, the sizes of the two regular classes swell as high...
...Gordon (Richard E. Grant), a copywriter at a London ad agency in the '30s, thinks of himself as a poet. But no one else is buying. Obsessed with strictures of class (his is "lower upper middle"), he woos his muse while exasperating Rosemary (Helena Bonham Carter), the art director of his ads and the love of his miserable life. If this version of George Orwell's 1936 novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying is too sunny for its subject, it provides a field day for the lanky Grant. His Gordon is self-absorbed, fulminating--the angry young man 20 years before...
