...shuttle from Lamont. It's cold and it's been dark for at least 5 hours. Another shuttle comes in 20 minutes. What do I do? I won't get any more work done staring at the wall in Lamont while waiting for the next shuttle, so I walk home, of course. I'm from a large city. I've never reached over and locked the car doors when driving through a bad neighborhood. I've always scoffed at safety precautions and I've been lucky. Living in the Yard I walked alone at all hours of the night, comforted...

A spot in which Brady defended the President's character--"I say, look what he's done"--went up Oct. 17. After that, Knapp wrote an even more highly charged testimonial, one from...
...decided to study Genesis that we would be on the cutting edge of our culture. Every Tuesday morning we dissect a chapter to uncover the deep truths locked inside. We have learned that human nature hasn't really changed; that God never tires of showing mercy to those who walk with him; and that his redemption, which climaxes so forcefully in Revelation, began in Genesis 2.
