...larger teleministry. But wrecking his nemesis -- while offering ostensibly sympathetic prayers for him -- did not satisfy Gorman. Now he is suing for wealth he believes would have been his were it not for Swaggart's vendetta, which Gorman says was motivated by business rivalry rather than morality. As proof, he argues that the drumbeat of rumor from Swaggart only intensified after Gorman quit their shared faith...

What Americans wanted more than anything else, argues University of Denver psychologist Paul Block, "is some proof of our control of the international situation, to make things go the way we want them to, to prevent people from doing what we consider to be wrong." The swiftness of the allied victory would deter future invaders; America's leverage in war would be the best guarantor of peace...
