On Good Friday, April 14, 1995, Christians remembered the crucifixion of Jesus, Jews reenacted the Passover, and the world at large observed the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust. That unusual juxtaposition formed the backdrop as Joel Marcus - a Jew by birth, a Christian by choice - took the pulpit at St. Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland.

Police Chief David O'Callaghan and Chelsea Adams' wedding day is fast approaching. Unfortunately, at the last minute, David discovers that there is one small problem to be taken care of before he can walk down the aisle - divorce his first wife!

Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin are known to all; men like Morgan, Greene, and Wayne are less familiar. Yet the dreams of the politicians and theorists became real only because fighting men were willing to take on the grim, risky, brutal work of war. The soldiers of the American Revolution were a diverse lot: merchants and mechanics, farmers and fishermen, paragons and drunkards. Most were ardent amateurs.

Spring is in the air. In Deep Creek Lake, the burst of blossoms on the trees has the effect of a starting pistol in the race to get the resort area ready in time for the seasonal residents return to Spencer, Maryland. This year, the Spencer Inn, Mac Faraday's five-star resort, has the added duty of preparing for the Diablo Ball, an annual benefit event that used to kick off Deep Creek Lake's summer season.

The delightful legend of the Ong's Hat travel cult has been posted in the form of the Incunabula Papers since the earliest days of BBS and Internet communications. The mythos is an historical and cultural curiosity for that reason alone.

"Well, John," said the ministers wife, coming suddenly into the study a few minutes after the postman had left the parsonage, "What does William write? I saw his letter. Please read it to me." The Miracle at Markham was written during the summer of 1808, and read the following fall and winter by the author to his Sunday evening congregation in the Central Church, Topeka, Kansas. It was then published as a serial in The Ram's Horn, Chicago. The facts as to church crowding, at least in small towns in the middle west of this country, are too evident to require any argument.
