...playing with dice and cards, and stroll the halls in jeans and T shirts. At another, there are spelling bees, reading drills, a strict dress code-and paddlings. The two schools seem so different they could be on opposite sides of the planet. But both are located in Pasadena, Calif, (pop. 113,000), a Los Angeles suburb, and are part of a school system that offers one of the nation's most diversified educational programs...
...recent years, Pasadena has had an increasing need for variety in education. An influx of low-income minorities into the once largely white and conservative community has resulted in a student population that is officially classified as 43% white, 41% black, 12% Spanish surnames and 4% Oriental and others.

Now it appears that Founder Herbert and Heir Apparent Garner Ted may be approaching an end time of their...
...huge assessments are particularly galling to Carrozzo because of the lavish life-styles of the Armstrongs and the fact that the church has built an extravagant auditorium in Pasadena, which may end up costing as much as $24 million. For its opening in April, the Vienna Symphony is being flown over to the tune of an estimated...
