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.

"Humanism will no longer be guaranteed a preferred position in American education," exulted Robert Skolrood, executive director of the National Legal Foundation, a group established by the television evangelist Pat Robertson that helped represent the plaintiff parents and teachers.
