...crowds. Though they captured the world title in 1991, the U.S. players still won little fame and no full-time jobs. The team virtually disbanded for two years before reassembling for the 1995 world championships. "We are here because we love to play the game," says team captain Carla Overbeck. "For years we played for nothing. But we played because of the friendships...

There is Caspar David Friedrich, the darling of the art historians, with his cloaked and silent watchers, his chilly crags and moonstruck ships. But Philipp Otto Runge? Carl Gustav Carus? Franz Pforr and Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld? Johann Overbeck? Franz Horny or Adrian Zingg? Not household names, exactly -- yet interesting and sometimes remarkable artists, all the same.

Overbeck had only a handful of followers, but he prepared a revision of the Roman missal and outlined a theological defense of the Western Rite idea that eventually convinced Orthodox church leaders. In 1926, the Orthodox Church of Poland accepted the allegiance of some Polish Catholics, who were allowed to keep the Mass and most of their liturgical customs. In the U.S., most of the Western Rite Orthodox belong to the Syrian Antiochian Archdiocese, which drew up rules...
