Watching the Beatles in fast-forward reminded me of just how far we've come in four decades, writes Eric Miller in a web-only article at Christianity Today.
"Clearly, for all their standard bemoaning of the fate of America after the '60s, evangelicals have in evident ways embraced the profound changes in sensibility, style, and thought the era brought—and often with good reason.

A Bolivian religious fanatic who claimed he had a bomb briefly hijacked a jetliner from the beach resort of Cancun as it landed in Mexico City.
The Bible-carrying Jose Flores Pereira described himself as a pastor who had gone to Cancun to preach.
He is also a Christian music singer who in videos posted on YouTube sings of leaving drugs and finding God.
He told police that his action was prompted by the realisation that the date - 9-9-09 - is the satanic number 666 upside down.
Three other passengers, whom Flores had referred to as "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost," were also arrested but quickly released.
