THE DEVIL & LARRY DOLAN by Jacqueline Genovese At USD, Father Larry Dolan was known for his expensive tastes-fine wines, gourmet dining, Italian opera, finely tailored suits. When writer Jacqueline Genovese traveled to the Arizona desert to learn the fate of USD's "GQ Priest," she heard the story of how a man went to battle against Demon Alcohol-and God came out the winner.

FACING THE NATION by Suzanne Johnson

In the end, the only elements missing from USD the weekend of Oct. 4 were George Bush, Bill Clinton and a few thousand journalists. After months of preparation to host one of the fall presidential debates, USD hoped the event would be an educa– tional experience for the students and increase recognition among national media outlets.
