...Democratic primary race is starting to heat up. Last week, Vice President Al Gore '69 abruptly moved his campaign headquarters from Washington to Tennessee and challenged opponent Bill Bradley, whom the frontrunner had been ignoring for months, to a series of biweekly debates. Bradley has not responded to Gore's proposal yet, but the two have agreed to an appearance together this week in Iowa, and another a few weeks from now in New Hampshire...

Mazu's benevolence attracts millions of worshippers. As many as 10,000 come each year on her birthday, the 23rd day of the third lunar month. The remoteness of the island--getting there requires a ferry ride and a steep climb in withering heat--does nothing to lessen the level of devotion. The number of visitors has grown so rapidly that a new 3,475-sq.-ft. temple is being constructed nearby...
