...Sober Guests. The I.C.C.C. has proved as durable as its founder. Its membership now includes some 140 denominations in 73 countries and colonies from Bolivia to Lebanon. All are relatively small, fundamentalist groups that have also broken with mainstream Protestant churches on the issue of membership in the World Council. The biggest U.S. member is the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, which has 1,300 congregations and 180,000 worshipers. Mclntire spreads his gospel through a weekly paper, the Christian Beacon (circ. 120,000), and a Monday-Friday radio program broadcast over 635 stations. Mclntire and his co-crusaders...

Above it, crouches a man - no figment of a dream but a com pact figure with grey thinning hair, a potato nose, and dressed all in sober brown. "Once," he "I was passionate about insects. I painted many of them." In fact, he still does...
...plays bass guitar and French horn and has been known to still a frenzied unruly crowd with a 20 minute horn solo, stood to the left of the stage, making it clear that he, for one, was not going to prance around. Funny how bass guitarists are generally more sober than their partners on the other instruments. Maybe it is because the bass man's sound comes so much from the gut that he has no libidinal impulses left over...
