...pangs of love were actually quite excruciating for Dana Lawson '01. If a ceiling lamp hadn't fallen on her knee in the midst of a concert at the Tanglewood Summer Music Festival 1995, she may have never met her fiancee, Noble M. Hanson...
...leaders have emerged in the community since the riots, including Damon Lynch III, who?s a minister at the New Prospect Baptist Church. He has promised a campaign of civil disobedience, including sit-ins, until changes are made.

Since Lawson's trip to Luoyang in 1998, overseas evangelists' trips have increased to an average of one a week. They claim to smuggle in as many as 10,000 Bibles at a time. Many evangelists openly compete for Chinese converts, posting tallies on websites of how many souls they've saved--a somewhat questionable estimate, since most Americans don't speak the same language as the people they profess to be converting. Religious travel agencies guide devotees through tricky visa applications...
