...embraced Christ, ambles through the Holy Land while quoting Scripture and telling a story of Jesus' life and sacrifice. As Cash intones the words, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased," it's easy to imagine that God just must have a Southern accent. The pauper-budgeted simplicity and naivete of "Gospel Road" - its irrefutable good intentions - overwhelm the weirdness of a movie in which the director (blue-eyed, blond-haired Robert Elfstrom) plays Jesus and the star's wife is Mary Magdalene...
...city like New York holds a lot of garbage, and a few secrets. In 1968 two children chanced upon a corpse in an abandoned Greenwich Village tenement. The body was buried as John Doe in a pauper?s grave. A year later, fingerprint tests revealed the man?s identity: Bobby Driscoll, dead at 31 of a drug overdose...
...faster than you can say Ken Lay--and, more to the point, faster than the feds can indict him--prime time is again daring to suggest that there are classes in America.

...been a wide disconnect between the people and government," he said. "Corruption will now cease to be a way of life in Kenya ? The era of anything goes is gone forever." Making good on those promises will be difficult. Once ranked a middle-income country, Kenya is now a pauper. More than half of Kenyans scrape by on less than a dollar a day. Much of the blame for the country's decline can be pinned on Moi and his Kenya African National Union party (KANU), which ruled, until last week, since independence in 1963. In the early years, under...
