...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...

Thirty years ago, America?s angry youth turned three days of "peace, love and music" into an eloquent statement against the Vietnam war. But historians may have a difficult time decoding the message of the rampaging climax to the 30th-anniversary celebration that drew 225,000 people to an old Air Force base at Rome, N.Y. Hundreds of riot police and firefighters battled for more than two hours to subdue an orgy of arson, looting and associated mayhem as Woodstock ?99 wailed to a finish late Sunday...
