...Office for the Arts considered Kool-Aid on ice to be art, why didn't they cover the Radcliffe Yard, where the Office for the Arts is located, with the stuff. Instead, Quad resident are subjected to a gross example of modern "art." Of course, those of us up here should be used to such things. You know what I would have considered art? Donating the Kool-Aid grant to the Quad renovation fund--most students would prefer rooms comparable to those on the river over a ludicrous display of biodegradable graffitti. Christopher...

The preachers' fund raising, the stuff of jokes and sometimes of scandal, is prodigious. According to a 1977 estimate by Television/ Radio Age, they spent $500 million to purchase TV and radio time a decade ago; today Armstrong figures the total is $1 billion, possibly $2 billion. That does not count other expenses and the ambitious ancillary...
