When Associate Editor Richard N. Ostling began to study the recent controversies surrounding U.S. television evangelists and then to write this week's cover story, he called on 22 years of religion reporting and a lifetime in mainstream Protestantism. He wrote the TIME covers on Televangelists Jerry Falwell (1985) and Pat Robertson (1986), and has spent countless hours in recent years watching the shows of TV preachers and poring over their periodicals. Reared as an American Baptist, Ostling is perplexed, as are many other Evangelical Christians, over the phenomenon he calls theme- park Christianity. The electronic churches, he says...
When Tom Murphy, the speaker of the Georgia House, helped invent the Southern regional primary, his purpose was clear: "To bring the Democratic Party back to the mainstream of Southern thinking." With probably 15 Southern and border states selecting about 30% of the 1988 convention delegates during the week of March 8, the field seemed tailored for a moderate Democrat who could tell the difference between kudzu and ivy.

He scorned the "bag people" around him. No, he wasn't one of them...
This is hardly the stuff of which box-office triumphs are made. In their search for financing, the producers heard a familiar show-business refrain: "Not mainstream enough" or "Not youth-oriented enough." Because of the fragile state of Huston's health, insurance companies would underwrite the film only on the condition that his friend Director Karel Reisz stand by. The all-Irish cast -- including Donal McCann (as Gabriel), Donal Donnelly and Dan O'Herlihy -- was drawn largely from Dublin's famed Abbey and Gate theaters, but it had no star power in Hollywood's terms. All studios, major, minor...
