Volume II, Issue 9
August 24 - August 31, 1998
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
uggling crucifix, sacramental wine, and the tragedies of life
with the Ringling Bros. is Father Jerry Hogan, the circus chaplain.
Read about his exciting and sometimes vaudevillian life in "Father Circus."
Nashville Scene's Margaret Renkl explores the strange Cult
of the Child in "Screaming Meanies." Delving into the strange world of having one's life revolve around children and their associated oddities, Renkl finds it common for adults to
feel manipulated by these little people that are fairly incapable of such calculated control.
This week's Recreation section gives us a cynical take on professional
baseball's homerun chase. How do today's athletes and the game
itself stack up against the legendary teams and stars of yesteryear?
Explore the subject in "(Re) Play Ball!"
Also in Recreation, follow Coury Turczyn's descent into the world
of casino gambling in North Carolina. Donning leisure attire from
hell, Coury takes us on a tour of dollar tokens and video dealers,
without a cocktail to be seen anywhere. Go along for the ride
in "Low Rollers."
