Two decades ago David Berkowitz, the infamous "Son of Sam" serial
killer, became a born-again Christian in what may be the most
publicized jailhouse conversion of our time. For many his story
proves religion's power to transform the lives of even the most

Fellowship Ministries aim to convert inmates while seeking public
funds for their sectarian programs. But are these programs as

meddling in foreign affairs from Uganda to Palestine; plus a new
"Stranger Than Fiction"
