...Whites, Joyce Meyer and Creflo Dollar. None of these has had trouble with the law, although in 2006, after years of fencing, Joyce Meyer Ministries came to agreement with local authorities to pay 52% taxes on parts of its headquarters, which the county had maintained were a business. Nonetheless, Hank Hanegraaff, a non-Pentecostal evangelical broadcaster who calls himself the Bible Answer Man, expresses concern "about people out there emptying out their bank accounts so their daughter with leukemia can be healed." He recently read on the air a editorial by Grady denouncing "Celebrity Christianity," which described the case...
True story: Backup UNH QB Hank Hendricks was suspended from the team two weeks ago, just days before pleading not guilty to murder in the killing of a pro surfer. Also true, less horrifying story: Starting UNH QB Ricky Santos won the Payton Award as the top player in Division I-AA last season and is poised to repeat this year, with 642 passing yards through two games...
...Question asked by In the Valley of Elah (in case you've forgotten, that's where David slew Goliath) is this: What does a war without mercy or justification do to the young men and women who are obliged to fight it?

This is a sad, subtle and very good movie, designed not so much to make you think, but to make you feel the impact of large events on little lives...
...like the hard-headed Hank Chinaski, the author's autobiographical alter ego, Bukowski fans aren't letting the home he rented from 1963 to 1972 go down without a rumble. They're pushing for preservation, and the city is listening. On September 20, a historical commission will take the first step in determining whether the property should be made a landmark and saved from demolition. The preservation charge is spearheaded by a young woman who might have caught Bukowski's wandering eye back in his days at De Longpre, the setting for his racy novel Women. Aspiring photographer and temp...
