Billy Graham: An Old Soldier Fades Away
If you read one obituary for Billy Graham, let it be this one.
"Graham will be cordially remembered by those who found solace in his golden promises and happy homilies,"
writes investigative reporter Cecil Bothwell, "but the worldly blowback
from his ministry is playing out in Iraq and Afghanistan, Chechnya and
Korea, the Philippines and Colombia—everywhere governments threaten
human rights and pie in the sky is offered in lieu of daily bread."
