Falwell's followers believe Christians will be swept or "raptured" into heaven before the great Tribulation. A common version of the end is that the Soviet Union (the evil northern empire of Ezekiel 38-39) will swoop down upon Israel but be defeated. After a later battle at Armageddon, God will inaugurate the millennium...
...walking distance. (Most hotels will continue the usual summer practice of discounting rooms 10% to 25%.) A 60-acre parking lot provides space for 7,500 cars and can handle about 20,000 bus passengers daily. From another huge parking lot, directly across the river in Algiers, visitors can swoop into the fair in a new 2,200-ft., $12.5 million gondola (gon-doh-la to natives).

It's all legal...

And it enables crazed animator Terry Gilliam to create some of the wackiest sequences he has ever penned, galaxies swoop in and out of file cabinets and the sun rapidly mitotes into a fetus while, for background music, a typical Python "French" accent promises to "explain it all for you tonight." So broad are the cinemographic possibilities that the movie's structure, crisp at first, ends up as a loose...
