...have other sorts of travelers: Robert Byron, after his time at Eton and Oxford, paid for his Tibet trip piecemeal by serializing articles about it. There is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the thoughtful French aviator who piloted his way around Algerian skies and Saharan camels before becoming at one point—randomly—director of the Aeroposta Argentina Company...
That sentiment will find resonance among those Evangelical Christians who worry that Grassley's pursuit of the six preachers, who all belong to a faction of Charismatic Christianity known loosely as "prosperity gospel," amounts to what one observer called a "saint hunt."

...abruptly ended after a positive test for cocaine after the first match of the season. Despite these falls, and a slow slide into decadence during a retirement marked by continued reports of substance abuse, sex scandals and violent confrontations with the paparazzi, Maradona is revered here here as "Saint Maradona," or simply "El Diego." A "Maradonian Church" has been created with followers who gather to celebrate his birthday every year with a "Maradona Mass" that includes dancing girls in front of a "Maradonian" altar...
