Randall Balm er, professor o f
religion at B arnard C ollege, C o­
lum bia U niversity, author o f sev­
eral books on the history o f re li­
gion in A m erica, and w riter and
host o f the popular public televi-
sion series Mine Eyes H ave Seem
The G lory, hosts this p ro v o c a­
tive look at one o f the m ost fa­
mous and influential preachers
o f the tw entieth century.
William Franklin Graham, bet­
ter known as Billy Graham, is con­
sidered by many as the face and
voice of evangelicals in America
today. His career spans more than
five decades and at 75 years o f age,
millions still hang on his words.
C onfidant to popes and p resi­
dents, m onarchs and d ictato rs,
the B illy G raham sag a is an
A m erican success story. With
natural talent and an uncanny
knack for self-prom otion, G ra­
ham has becom e, over the de-
cades, a cultural icon. M illions
o f people the w orld over associ­
ate him with honesty, integrity,
C h ris tia n ity and m id d le -c la ss
values.
in addition to probing the
personal side o f Billy G raham ,
C rusade: The Life O f B illy G ra­
ham goes behind the scenes o f
one o f his crusades. E vangelicals
believe that conversion, the act
o f accepting Jesus as your per­
sonal Lord and Savior, is a pro­
cess every man, woman and child
needs to go through in order to
be saved. G raham ’s crusades are
centered around bringing about
those conversions. Each night,
at the conclusion o f his serm on,

to 2:30 p in. at E & M Community Market, 909 N. Killingsworth St.
Bicycle safety, pedestrian safety, bicycle repair and free bicycle
helmets will be distributed to low income children who live at the nearby
Piedmont Plaza apartments.
More than 150 kids and Piedmont Plaza supporters are expected to
attend. The event is being coordinated by the Portland Office of

Commissioner Earl Blumenauer.
The event also serves as reinforcement ofthe new state bicycle helmet

Children Need To Learn About
Food
Children should learn there are
no bad foods, only bad eating habits.
Instead o f banning certain
foods, parents can teach children
to make wise choices by including
them in menu planning, grocery
shopping and meal preparation.
Said Dr. Corinne Montandon, a
nutritionist at the USDA’s Child­
ren’s Nutrition Research Center
at Baylor College o f Medicine in
Houston.
Montandon encourages parents
to use the new USDA Food Guide
Pyramid for menu planning; it helps
children visualize food groups.

Graham invites m em bers o f the
audience to com e forw ard to the
base o f the stage as a public dec­
laration o f their new or renewed
com m itm ent to Jesus.
To this end each crusade, like
the one in Portland, O regon, is
the culm ination o f years o f care­
ful planning. The scale o f each
event is im m ense, form ushers
and technicians to choir mem ­
bers and counselors. In all, the
Graham organization estim ates
that 30,000 people played some
part in preparing for the Portland
crusade. O regon Public B road­
casting is a public television and
radio netw ork serving O regon
