...foundation's 1997 tax filings show both sides of the group's character. Of $25 million in expenditures, some $9 million paid for foreign evangelism. Domestically, roughly the same amount was put into a TV campaign for youth abstinence ("You're worth waiting for"). Thus three-fourths of DeMoss's giving qualifies as relatively noncontroversial. However, $1.6 million went to the American Center for Law and Justice, a nonprofit law firm founded by Pat Robertson that opposes gay marriage, defends abortion protesters and promotes various types of school prayer...
...leisure suit would have been more appropriate. First of all, Ventura, the party's highest-ranking elected official and the repository of its presidential urges, didn't show. Bad weather and a bad back kept him in Minnesota. When they got him on speakerphone, instead of taking on Perot, Ventura promised not to run for President; his grab for power was more a wink and a nudge. He pitched Jack Gargan, a retired financial consultant, as party chairman, but then swaddled the endorsement in protestations that he wasn't telling the fiercely independent delegates how to vote. The room, which...
That tale consumed three enthralling hours a while back on Coast to Coast AM, the 5-hr.-a-night radio show devoted to all things weird and shepherded by Art Bell, a genial host shrouded, until recently, in his own poignant mystery. Photo "evidence" of the parchment-skinned ET can be seen on Bell's busy website www.artbell.com (44 million hits since January '97). When he is asked about the alien in the freezer, Bell laughs heartily. "Do I have doubts about that story? Yes! Was it entertaining? Oh, absolutely!" Bell, 54, offers a forum for all manner of amazing...
Believe who will, but a lot of people are listening: about 9 million a week. That makes Bell the fourth highest-rated radio talker, behind Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Howard Stern. And Bell corrals his huge audience in a night-owl slot (the show starts at 1 a.m. in the East) when only the sleep-disordered should be listening. Yet the loose formula, and Bell's intimate symbiosis with the listener, works handsomely. The show is so popular that on many stations, each night's program is re-aired at an earlier hour the next evening...
...least want to be able to tell everyone they do. We know Bill Clinton is dead-set against it -? "I will have no choice but to veto it immediately" ?- and the Democrats, so far, are sticking by their fearless leader. But how about the voters? Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly favor lower taxes -? who wouldn?t? - until they?re reminded that there?s only so much money to go around. Put a big tax cut against saving Medicare, and that support all but disappears. The same thing happens when respondents are faced with a choice between tax cuts and saving...
