Rudy is getting madder and madder, trying to devise new methods to spread his gospel, including a core course that he would teach: Literature and Arts B-41: "The English Palladians, the Search for Truth and its Interpretation."

"But parents and teachers who have seen the film feel this is a piece of history kids don't really know about, and it gets them interested in it." Right--so they can learn...
...thrown 50 yards into the air." Some residents are now returning to the remains of their homes after Opal smashed through, killing 18 people and leaving at least $2 billion in property damage. But others have been denied access, despite reports of scavenging and looting. "These people are madder than wet hens," says Gwynne.
