Head of The Class
The question isn’t how the followers of an obscure Turkish imam came to operate the largest charter school system in Texas. It’s whether the incredible success they’ve had can help our ailing public schools.
Texas High Ways
A growing chorus of unlikely voices, from the El Paso City Council to the Arizona attorney general, has called for a serious look at legalizing marijuana. Why Texas should lead the way.
American Idol
Although many people haven’t heard of him, Bishop T.D. Jakes is one of the most famous—and richest— preachers in the country. Whence cometh this man?
Prime Minister
The fastest-growing church in the world. The biggest congregation this side of the Vatican. The highest ratings of any religious broadcaster. One of the best-selling religious books in years. Can Joel Osteen get an “Amen”?
Amen
Three decades after his last megamission in Dallas, age and poor health haven't slowed Billy Graham down (well, not much). He's still the most powerful evangelist since Jesus, and there will never be another like him.
The Guardians Who Slumbereth Not
Textbook watchdogs Mel and Norma Gabler are good, sincere, dedicated people, who just may be destroying your child’s education.
The Power And The Glory of Billy Graham
Hallelujah!
Growing Old at Willie Nelson’s Picnic
What is it like to miss the sexual revolution (and some others) by a mere handful of years?
Semi-Tuft
Forget your Dallas cowboys and your Houston Astros. Texas’ real champions count birds once a year at freeport. They’re not bird watchers, they’re birders. And therein lies a tail.
Sold American!
Selling a herd of prime cattle can be tricky business. And it takes professionals to do it right.
Columns | Miscellany
The Damage Done
We stand alone among the fifty states in our refusal to legitimize a proven method of disease prevention: needle exchange for drug users. It’s time to change that.
Sunday Best
With love, discipline, and old-time religion, Kirbyjon Caldwell has built one of Texas’ most vital churches.
Billy and Lyndon
Lyndon Johnson understood all too well the advantages of being Billy Graham’s buddy.
Gifts from My Father
All his life, the son learned from the father, but the most important lesson came at the end.
