...control group of members from the mainline Church of Christ. The results indicated that to an extreme degree, BCC disciples saw their personalities “shift” from their normal orientation to become more like the charismatic McKean. Yeakley published his results, causing the BCC to label him an enemy of the church and to forbid its members from speaking with him or reading his work. The church’s intensive “discipling” was now under attack...

Though designers like Armani, Courrèges, Ventillo, Lanvin, Barbara Bui and Nicole Farhi realized years ago that the chicest store accessory is a stylish café bearing your label, major retailers are just now choosing to create and run their own restaurants rather than depending on outside concessionaires.

SOiL’s major label debut, Scars, explodes from the Windy City with a hard-rock radio blend of melodic hooks and crunching riffs. This nu-metal outfit manages to temper the simplicity of drop-d tuned chunk metal with alt-rock and cock-rock attitude. The band keeps it simple.
