Nothing in Patrick Foisy's loft is without its place or purpose. A trio of broken metal clarinets serve as hanging light fixtures, an antique television is home to a pair of fish and with the addition of a circular piece of glass and some clips, a snare drum is transformed into an end table.
Even the books are meticulously positioned to look as though they've been left lying around haphazardly - the 1974 Playboy cookbook in the kitchen, a book on industrial decor in his industrial-themed office.
Foisy is, by his own admission, slightly obsessive-compulsive.
The 41-year-old Grade 5 teacher inherited the collector gene from his late grandfather, Noël, who used to collect vintage cars. A perpetual businessman, he owned a gas station, a car dealership, a wartime powdered-milk company and a tavern. It was there, at La Brasserie Coloni-ale, where a 10-year-old Foisy first laid eyes on a pinball machine.
That day, he vowed the first thing he would ever own as an adult would be a pinball machine. So when, upon visiting his grandparents' house near Lake Champlain, he discovered they'd bought one for the family, Foisy - by then a young teenager - did something unusual.
"The first thing I did, was not play. I looked at it, freaked out and then I went for a swim. I savoured the moment. And when I came back an hour later, I went: 'Now's the time!' " he says.
Later, as a teenager, he settled on a second goal: a Volkswagen Beetle.
"This was all about my grandfather," Foisy says. "He was a huge influence on me."
Unfortunately, when Noël died, the pinball machine went to an uncle despite everyone in the family knowing it was intended for Patrick. The then-university age Foisy, though disappointed, set out to find one all his own. However, by that point he'd already fulfilled at least one of his childhood dreams.
"I'm glad I got my first Beetle before my grandfather died. He rode in it with me, and we redid the interior together," Foisy says.
There are no pictures of his uncle hanging on his loft's walls, or of his grandfather, for that matter. But there are photographs of the first inhabitants of his condo building: the employees of the Viau cookie factory.
The 182-unit condo complex buried deep in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve was first built in 1906 by Charles-Théodore Viau, the creator of the Whippet; the three exposed brick walls enclosing Foisy's living room served as the stairwell for the women's entrance to the factory.
Touches of the Viau era are sprinkled throughout Foisy's loft, which he bought in 2007 - a pair of wax paper peanut and candy bags bearing the Viau emblem hang, framed, by the front door, while a four-tiered Viau cookie display case houses empty cookie boxes from a bygone era, its exclusively English-language lettering the only indication that Foisy actually bought it in Syracuse, N.Y. An original envelope and receipt dated from 1901 hang facing three black and white pictures of factory workers.
On the sink counter in the bicycle-themed bathroom sits a pewter-coloured picture frame, inside of which is a photograph given to Foisy by a friend of her grandfather on a Viau cookie delivery bicycle.
Aside from the model bicycles, bicycle-themed art and books, and the bike tire mirror from Ikea - "It's one of the only modern things you'll find in the loft," he says - the bathroom also houses an old taximeter, a lifeguard flotation device and a functional Watchman.
The taximeter is part of a running gag throughout the loft. "In order to pay the mortgage, there's a lot of things you need to, if you're a guest, pay for," Foisy says mischievously. He also jokes about shaking guests down using the black Bell System public telephone, the gumball machine and the parking meter that, if you overstay your welcome, gives you a "violation," he says, turning the knob so that a red warning flag pops up.
Foisy was recently crowned a victor on TV station CASA's Ma maison bien aimée, a show that awards a $1,000 prize to the highest-scoring homeowner among four competitors based on the merits of their interior decorating skills. The win came easily; his 1,000-square-foot loft is carefully curated. Even the interior doors were found at a place that recycles old doors; he brought the doorknobs, found separately, to a guy with thousands of keys who, for about $20, will sift through his collection to find one that fits. Finally, the panes of frosted glass on the bathroom and office doors bear the handwritten words "Employés seulement" and "Entrepôt chocolat," respectively.
"I like to consider myself a creative guy," Foisy says.
He rarely visits an antique shop, a flea market or a garage sale without having a specific project in mind; the fruits of his overactive imagination have manifested themselves as a Dictaphone-turned-bottle rack, a clothes hamper made of an old Canada Post mailbox and a massive 1950s chrome cash register that doubles as a cutlery drawer. "There's not a lot of stuff in the loft that has absolutely no purpose," he says.
This attention to detail is a byproduct of his identification with the mod esthetic, a lifestyle he was introduced to by a new friend when his family relocated to Toronto for a few years. It was during that time that he first listened to the Who and saw Quadro-phenia, a film loosely based on the band's rock opera of the same name. This, together with his exposure to 2 Tone ska band the Specials' eponymous first album, solidified his identity as a mod.
"I liked the fact that mods are rebels that dress sharply. They can blend in unnoticed in society," Foisy says.
"Mods are really detail-oriented. It's all about those subtle details," he adds. It's that esthetic and attention to detail that inform his loft's decor, as well as ensure he's got a Vespa and a Lambretta in the garage and a closet full of well-tailored suits and neatly pressed Fred Perry shirts.
For the most part, his wife, Nikki, is accommodating, though she's implemented a rule that whenever a new, relatively large piece comes in, an old one has to go out. The result is an uncluttered space despite the number of individual pieces within it; the 150-square-foot mezzanine recently built by Foisy's father to act as their bedroom also helps add a degree of spaciousness.
Next year, when the couple moves to the Machinerie lofts being built in St-Henri, Foisy will part with many of his Viau artifacts (he intends to sell them to the condo owners' association). But rather than looking at the move as starting all over again, he's looking forward to having a new space to decorate, like everything he does, with one foot in the past and eyes looking to the future.
Collector's mod style defines eclectic loft
Nothing in Patrick Foisy's loft is without its place or purpose. A trio of broken metal clarinets serve as hanging light fixtures, an antique television is home to a pair of fish and with the addition of a circular piece of glass and some clips, a snare drum is transformed into an end table.

The Bulls have been eliminated from the playoffs by their chief rival, Miami. Meanwhile, their United Center roommates, the Blackhawks, are in the midst of a postseason showdown with archrival Detroit.
Because they share an arena, the Bulls and Blackhawks are generally supportive of one another, and you'll often see the basketball players come out and support the hockey players and vice versa.
So RedEye asked the Bulls if playing in Chicago has raised their interest in hockey and if they'd ever ditch their sneakers for skates and go out on the ice and attempt a shot.
Taj Gibson
I go to Blackhawks games all the time. Patrick Sharp comes to Bulls games all the time and he comes to the locker room and talks to us. I love going to Hawks games, but I wouldn't go out there and take a shot. The way those fans boo people when they go and take shots during intermission, I don't think I could ever do that.
I'm not really a hockey fan. I'm more into golf, but no hockey. I can't sit there and watch guys swing at a puck. It's like soccer. You're just kicking the ball around and it takes forever sometimes to score one point. You play that for three hours and all you scored was one point? Nah, I can't do it.
I don't watch hockey, but I've always wanted to go to a game. I was never a big hockey guy, but somebody told me that a hockey game is better live than it is on TV—kinda like baseball.
Jimmy Butler
I like hockey. It's interesting to see other people work at their profession and see how talented they are. I like [Jonathan] Toews, man. He's a helluva player; I have all his jerseys. I would never try and take a shot on the ice, [however], because I'd automatically feel like I wasn't athletic. It's like if you asked one of the Blackhawks to shoot a 3-pointer, I don't think they could do it.
Kirk Hinrich
I only watch hockey during the playoffs, when I can. But I like to watch it more in person because I don't know enough about hockey to watch it on TV. I'd never try and take a shot, though. I don't do well on ice.
Nazr Mohammed
I don't really watch hockey, but I want to get to a game because I always hear about how much fun they are and how much better it is to watch live than on TV, like baseball. I heard it's a lot of action, a lot of fun and I heard the Blackhawks do a lot of great things in the arena. And I'd never try and go out on the ice and take a hockey shot. My balance is bad enough on the court.
Joakim Noah
I don't watch the Blackhawks too much, but I heard they're doing really well. And I've actually taken a shot on the ice before. I didn't make it, though. But I'm not a hockey player. They couldn't make a 3-pointer. … But who am I kidding? I'm not making any 3-pointers either.

The Quinn family is living at 332 Bergen Street in the 10th Ward. The parents are Hugh and Mary, both 33, who have been married 7 years. Their children are Nora, age 5, who was born in December 1895; Anna, age 13, who was born in March 1887; and Helen, age 10 months, who was born in July 1899. (Mary Gillan's brother Mark is also living with them.)
The oddities in this census record are two-fold.
First, there's the presence of Anna. This Anna is old enough to predate the marriage between Hugh and Mary. She's also listed out-of-order, 13 years old, but showing up listed between a 5-year-old and an infant. I asked around the family, and no one had ever heard of an Anna in the family, a sister older than Agnes (aka Nora - figuring that out was its own story!), or a prior marriage for Hugh. Searching for this Anna Quinn, or anyone in her family, on the 1892 NYS Census proved futile. I had no idea who Anna was, or where she'd come from.
Second, there's the absence of Molly. She should be 3 years old. It's hard to imagine why her older and younger sisters are living with their parents, but she's not. No plausible Mary or Molly Quinn shows up in any hospitals, institutions, or other families in the city. My great-uncles - Molly's sons - weren't able to recall any reasons why their mother might not have been living with her parents as a young child. She is listed right where she should be, with her family, on all later federal and New York State census records.
It did occur to me that Anna might not be who she seemed. Children are usually listed in age order, so it seems irregular for 13-year-old Anna to be in the spot of the middle child in the family - the spot that should have belonged to Grandma Molly. But neither the name nor the age were even in the right ballpark, so I was convinced there was no relationship - except perhaps that of half-sisters - between these two. If one or the other had matched, I might have thought that the entry referred to Grandma Molly, but they did not. And yet I couldn't figure out who Anna was, or where Molly had gone.
So I ignored the questions. After brief searches into Anna and Molly, I stopped looking into them. I ignored the existence of one and the absence of the other, and left the family alone for years.
A couple of months ago, after the 1925 NYS Census was uploaded to Ancestry.com, I located Molly Quinn, and her husband John O'Hara on it with their two young sons. I remembered that I'd never been able to find their marriage record in the Italiangen.org indexes, even though they were likely married in the early 1920s, a time when the marriages were fairly reliably recorded by the city. I went back and checked the index again, and found that there was a John O'Hara marrying at about the right time, and he was even marrying a Quinn, but her name wasn't Mary. It was Anna.
I'd seen this entry in the index before and thought nothing of it - Quinns and O'Haras were a dime a dozen in Irish Brooklyn, and my John O'Hara had married a Mary Quinn. This wasn't her. Right?
I still wasn't seeing what was right in front of me, but I was beginning to have suspicions. I had the date on which her sons had told me Molly was born, but whenever I checked the ItalianGen birth index for a Mary Quinn, I came up empty. I tried again, selecting for just the year 1897, and searching on just the name Quinn. There, on 22 March 1897, Grandma Molly's birthday, was an entry for an Annie M Quinn. Suddenly, I understood. 13-year-old Anna was 3-year-old Molly. John O'Hara married Molly Quinn when he married Anna Quinn.
I sent away for the birth and marriage records, and was not disappointed.
According to her birth certificate, Annie May Quinn (or Anne May Quinn? or Ann(i)e Mary?) was born 22 March 1897 at 328 Bergen Street, only a couple of doors down from where she would be so confusingly enumerated in the 1900 Census. Her parents were Mary Gillen and Hugh Quinn. He was an engineer. There was no doubt - none whatsoever - that this was Grandma Molly. And that her first name was Annie.
The March 1923 marriage certificate was just as convincing.
Anna M. Quinn was living at the home where Molly had been enumerated with her mother and siblings in the 1920 Census. Her parents are Mary Gillen and Hugh Quinn. John J. O'Hara's parents' names are given, accurately, as John J. O'Hara and Mary King. The witnesses to the ceremony are John's brother Eugene W. O'Hara, and Molly's older sister Agnes Quinn (aka Nora).
From a genealogical perspective, or a research perspective, this is a story about not being an idiot, and about evaluating the information offered by a record for its potential truth without discounting it for not fitting with what you think you already know. From a family perspective, this story is about crazy serendipity, and my Dad winning (or at least not losing) an argument, but not knowing it for 21 years.
The story goes that after I was born, and again after my sister Laura was born, my dad finalized our names, while my mom was recovering, from the short list our parents had created but without her final input. Though we turned out to be remarkably well-named, my mom was insistent, the third time around, that she would be the one to have the final say for their next child. The discussion during her pregnancy was about whether they would name the baby Anna or Molly - Anna, after my mother's grandmother, or Molly, after the aforementioned Grandma Molly, my father's grandmother. My mom pulled rank, and Anna she was named - after Anna Cianciotta Lanzillotto, my mother's maternal grandmother. For her entire life, we had known that though my dad had wanted to name her after Grandma Molly, he had not prevailed, and so Anna had her maternal great-grandmother's name and not her paternal great-grandmother's name. The summer that my sister Anna turned 21, I got to call them all up with these papers in hand and tell them all that they had made the right choice in naming her Anna. Because actually, those 2 grandmothers my parents wanted to honor when they named my sister?
They were both named Anna.

It was my particular business to run the first line across the unfordable rivers we came to with a light skiff. With this line the heavy pontoons were placed in position. Thus it happened that during the entire march, I was the first man to cross the rivers we came to. With rear guard of the retreating enemy lurking in the bushes of the opposite bank to oppose a crossing, you can well imagine that my duties were no sinecure, and were not considered conductive to long life.

One Df the realignments that the new
curricular structure has occasioned at
Bethel has been a shift of students from
some of our traditionally crowded areas
to other courses that now may be elected
more easily. As a result I am sorry
to report that we will lose two of our
fine young teachers- next fall because
of the resultant adjustment in departmental
teaching loads and the need to
maintain economic balance. Jon Fagerson
of the Department of English and
Richard Ward of the Department of
History will complete their work with
us at that time. Both are rounding out

Editor's note:
Jon Fagerson is an Assistant Professor
of English here at Bethel. He teaches
Black Literature and Chaucer among
other things. This year when his contract
came up for renewal of tenure
(another five years), it was decided he
should be dropped. The official reasons
for this are that, 1) Bethel is in a financial
squeeze and 2) the English Department
has to be cut back. Many of
Fagerson's students, who consider him
an excellent teacher, one of the best if
not THE best at Bethel, etc., think it
strange that HE should be the professor
who is being let go. (As yet, the
CLARION has received only praise for
Fagerson and his teaching ability and
shock at his leaving). This is understandable
in that there are several
other people in the English Department
with less seniority than he. Fagerson
reputably came out of Harvard Graduate
School magna cum laude and wears tennis
shoes to class. Many students do not
view these facts as just reason for
having him fired. Mark Steward is one
of them.

TO' the editDr:
The Bethel CDllege administratiDn has
decided to' nDt renew JDn FagersDn's CDntract

The decisiDn has been called a decisiDn
Df econDmics.
As I see it, a liberal arts instructDr
is hired to' acquaint students with the
histDry, principles, techniques, and practical
merits Df his particular discipline.
OccasiDnally, a student may meet an instructDr
whO' accDmplishes these goals
by involving himself to' such an extent
that he inspires an interest that cDmpels
the student to' voluntarily explDre and

I place Mr. Fagerson in that exclusive

The American political system is essentially made up
of a Republican party, a Democratic party, and the leftovers.
Today Capitol Hill is "controlled" by the G.O.P. In this
election year th.e "Golden rule" of party unity has been broken.
The unwritten rule implies that the presidential incumbent
receives the full SUPPOI1t of his party; meaning that he runs
unopposed in all of the primaries and is unopposed in the
nominating convention.
President Nixon appears to be headed for another four
years of "rule." The road is bound to be rough but undoubtedly
he will succeed. The question in point is this, will the Republican
party be able to succeed also?
In the upcoming primaries in Florida and New Hampshire
the President will be opposed by Representative John M. Ashbrook,
a "conservative" Republican from Ohio and Paul N.
McCloskey a "liberal" Republican from California.
Mr. Ashbrook attacks the President as being too liberal.
He attacks the President in the areas of national securi,ty,
budget deficits, wage-price controls, Red China, and the welfare
Mr. McCloskey believes the President too conservative.
He differs with Mr. Nixon concerning the Vietnam War. He
also finds time to criticize "truth in government," pollution
control, the Nixon appointees to the Supreme Court, and
the Administration's "Southern Policy."
Attacking the President on these grounds is a very sound

gesture for a Democrat who is trying to reunite a party that
has been scattered to the four corners of the globe. Attacking
the President on these issues is a very lethal mistake for the
party if attempted by a Republican.
The Republican party has finally reunited itself after
years of frustration and humiliation. This year the GOP is
confident 'that they can "take it all," by gaining majorities
in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Two men
opposing the President and splitting party loyalty could cause
disaster for the Republicans.
The political outlook is that, Mr. Nixon has the party nomination
pretty well intact. He should receive 70 percent of
the party vote in the New Hampshire primaries and possibly
a greater percentage in Florida. The important question
isn't the primaries but the election.
California and Oregon were pivotol states in the last
presidential election and political observers feel they will be
more important in the '72 race. Last time Mr. Nixon and
the Republicans were able to gain minute majorities in both
these states. That was done in a united party.
If the McCloskey-Ashbrook campaigns are allowed to
solidify, Mr. Nixon will inevitably lose these two states and
the election. Without the guidance of a Republican administration,
Republican foothold in this country would be entirely
impossible. The hard sought party unity would rapidly disappear.
Mr. Ashbrook and Mr. McCloskey, you two are party
Founders Week
listeners find
chapels meaningful
by AI Cooper
Two weeks ago, Bethel was once again host to ministers
and laymen for the 1972 Founder's Week.
Among the guest speakers was an Englishman with a
strong British accent, Rev. Stewart Briscoe. He quite readily
put everyone at ease at Monday's chapel with his humor,
mostly concerning the confusions of American slang to an
Englishman recently come to the United States.
His sermons concentrated on a few simple points, but he
handled 'the points well. He discussed topics such as Paul's
prison experience, and questioned just how personal and
real the pastor's involvement is in the church today.
Reactions were varied.
"I liked his accent."
"I liked the way he encouraged us to just feel the way
Paul felt, like singing in jail."
"I was disappointed when he was cut short by the openmike
session on Thursday."
'He didn't cover all that much, but what he did cover.
he covered very well."
On Friday, Rev. Briscoe had to leave before chapel time.
Pastor Lawson turned the mikes over to people in the audience.
The response was varied. It was good to see students, ministers
and laymen all express just what Christ was doing in
various parts of the United States and Canada. No one seemed
to mind when the sharing time continued after the regular
chapel time was over.
Throughout the week, the concentration seemed to center
on a simple, down-to-earth relationship to Christ. Perhaps

Every once in a while something comes across my desk
that I find of particular value for the' whole school. The
following is one of those pieces. It comes to us by way of
THE ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL NEWS SERVICE and
sheds significant light on the contemporary scene. Think it
through, see if you can see other indications of the "gospel
of man" being proclaimed in the market place, then ask
yourself "What am I doing to proclaim the Good News of
the coming of God's Kingdom?"
According to Webster's, sacrilege "implies a violation of
something sacred, as by appropriating to a secular use something
that has been dedicated to a religious purpose." In
discussi~g whether Jesus Christ Superstar is sacrilegious,
one ObvlOusly means, does Superstar appropriate Jesus Christ
to a secular use? Or, in other words, does Superstar directly
undermine the Christian religion of which Jesus Christ is
the base?
Superstar has to be dealt with carefully. To most who
have been raised in a traditional Christian church, the rock
music alone rings of sacrilege, but such criticism is a bit
hasty. The music, in fact, is rather astounding for its beauty.
The variety of musical selections offered is in itself amazing.
However, its musical quality doesn't affect its spiritual
It is difficult to grasp the thrust of the meaning of Superstar
with just a cursory listening. Frequently, portions of songs
could be interpreted several ways. Many times questions
are merely posed to be left unanswered. In writing an opera
some liberty with fact is to be expected, but in Superstar one
wonders whether so much liberty has been taken as to misrepresent
Christ's life.
I assert that Superstar is sacrilegious because it promotes
the cause of "humanism," which has historically undermined
and is currently undermining the roots of the Christian
religion. "Humanism" as I am using it, means the worship
of a human being, in this case, a man named Jesus. Jesus
Christ is reduced to a remarkable man who united Himself
to God and became God in that sense. This opens the door
for any man, who by moral excellence or works united himself
with God, to be worshipped as God.
Throughout Superstar Christ is referred to as the Son of God
or as God in a disparaging manner (e.g. by Caiaphas and
Herod.) On the other hand, one line appears consistently,
spoken by different characters. The phrase "he's a man, he's
just a man" can hardly be misinterpreted, Furthermore, in
Superstar even Christ himself sings, "Could you ask as much
from any other man?" The point is, in Christianity, Christ
is not"just a man;" He is the Son of God and an integral part
of the Godhead, the Holy Trnity.
This humanizing of Christ also takes the form of relating
Him to the average man, Judas says Christ is inconsistent,
ambitious, and would have been better as a carpenter. The
character of Judas is, in fact, distorted. In ,the Gospels it is
stated several times that Judas was possessed of Satan and
that he offered to betray Christ for whatever the high priests
would give him. However, in Superstar, Judas is portrayed,
not as a devil-possessed man who sold out Christ for thirty
pieces of silver, but rather as an idealistic apostle who became
concerned that Jesus had betrayed His own cause ("our
ideals die around us all because of you") and, therefore, he
regretfully turned on Christ, only later to repent for his
mistake. This misrepresentation of Judas is a crucial point,
for Judas has such apalling lines as "Jesus! You've started
to believe the things they say of you. You really do believe
this talk of God is true. And all the good you've done will
soon get swept away. You've begun to matter more than
the things you say."
The character of Mary Magdalene also humanizes Christ.
Her famous song, "I Don't Know How To Love Him," portrays
her love for Him as a man, not as God. This theme also
runs throughout.
In Superstar the words of Christ himself deny him credibility
as God. He says He's not as sure anymore that he's inspired
and He says He's exceeded expectations (If God is perfect,
as Christianity maintains, how could He exceed expectations?).
Even such seemingly trivial differences as Christ looking for
truth in Superstar and teaching the truth in the Bible rise
to great significance. God knows the truth; He does not
"look" for it.
This "humanism" must, of course, overlook Christ's resurrection.
To acknowledge that Christ died, arose again in
three days, and then ascended into Heaven to sit at the
right hand of His Father, would be to deny the "Christ was
just a good man" theory. Superstar leaves Christ hanging
on the cross. In fact, through the words of others, and even
Christ, in the rock opera, serious doubts are raised even as
to the existance of an afterlife. The Rev. Billy Graham has
recently criticized Superstar for omitting the Christian concept
of eternal life, the major point of Christianity.
"Humanism" has been historically condemned by the
Christian religion. In 431 A.D., the Council of Ephesus of the
only organized Christianity of that period, Catholicism,
approved the anathemas of St. Cyril, who roundedly condemned
"humanism." The Fifth Anathema read:
"If anyone dares to say that the Annointed One is
an inspired man and not rather that He is really
God, as being the One Son by His Divine Nature,
forasmuch as the Word was made flesh, and like us
shared blood and flesh, let him me anathema (i.e.,
damned or excommunicated)."
The concept of Christ as God is essential to Christianity.
Superstar appropriates Christ from the Christian religion
to the secular worship of an extraordinary man. Christians
who recommend Superstar ,for spiritual enrichment are only
helping to undermine their own proclaimed religion.

to remember
First of all let me introduce some of the members of
our tour group with whom you are not acquainted.
Our tour guide for the trip was Albert, a dashing
West German gentleman with a magnetic personality
which seemed to have an effect on the ladies. Despite
this, all the guys in the choir agreed that Albert was
definitely one of the boys.
Hans, also from West Germany, was our bus driver.
Hans' English was not so good, but we communicated
with him through our broken German and his warm smile
just fine.
Our bus was a double-decker which accommodated the
entire choir with ease.
We began our tour of the continent in Amsterdam,
bringing in the New Year with a combined service with
the three other Bethel tour groups. From Amsterdam,
Hans and Albert guided us through the Dutch countryside
into Germany, where we spent most of our time. We
have had a rather heavy concert schedule, each concert
bringing us to a new cathedral unique in beauty and
heritage. Our first full concert was in a community called
Bethel, near Bielefield, Germany. As we were warming
up and checking acoustics at the church, we were pleasantly
shocked by the appearance of German composer Dr.
Heinz Werner Zimmermann and his wife. He heard our
concert in the evening, and the next day graciously took
time to give us a tour through Bethel. Bethel is a church
run community (50 percent of which is made up of mentally
ill people) who live and work in the hospitals and
homes provided for them.
From Bielefield we travelled to the town of Bueckeburg,
where we sang in a beautifully ornate cathedral built
in the baroque style. Our next concert was in the MeldorferDom
in Meldorf, Schleswig-Holstein . . The church was
completely filled and the concert was very well received,
as it has been generally in each of the cathedrals. After
the concert the guys and girls were sent to separate youth
From Meldorf our journey took us to Hamburg. Albert
took us on a very interesting tour of some of the downtown
area of Hamburg and we also were able to see some
of the harbors.
One of the most educational parts of the trip began
when we headed from Hamburg to West Berlin. In order
to get to West Berlin it is necessary to travel through
East Germany. Since the German Democratic Republic
does not especially like American company, the guards
(mostly Russian) held us for a very long time at the
border, checking baggage and passports and generally
making things difficult for us. When we finally arrived
in Berlin we were greeted again by Dr. Zimmermann who
took us to the Berlin Church Music School where he is
director, for supper. Afterwards we dressed for the concert
at Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The church
is a new building constructed around the ruins of the
old church which was destroyed in World War II. The
choir sang there in 1968 and was very well received. This
concert also went well and again we were greeted warmly
by the Berliners. Dr. Zimmermann enjoyed the performance
of his three spirituals which have proven to be inspirational
to us through two years of performance.
After two days in Berlin we left the free world and
began our two days behind the Iron Curtain. At this point
in our trip, Albert had to leave us, as West Germans are
not allowed to be in the Eastern Zone overnight. Those
who violate this law must stay in East Germany for
Our new guide for the two days in the German Democratic
Republic was Dietrich, an East German with definite
East German leanings.
For many, East Germany was a depressing but enlightening
experience. The streets were almost devoid of
people both day and night. Our hotel was first class and
by far the nicest in our tour so far.
The church is remarkably alive in the East, and we

Hi Bob!
This is the church we sang in while in Berlin.
I wondered first, why go behind the Curtain?
I feel that the Lord had a definite purpose in
having us sing here. A divided country - a
divided city. But the Lord has given us total
unity, total FREEDOM in Him and that "Perfect
Peace" we sing about. These people need
to hear a bout the freedom in Jesus. It was
a real experience sharing it with them. Pray
that they may learn the True Freedom.

our Wittenburg, East Germany visit has been
the most outstanding to me. Despite the
political system in power there, Martin Luther
and his Reformation efforts are highly reo
Our Wittenburg guide transmitted this feeling
to us as she showed us Luther's tomb, home
with many original things, Bible, translation
work, and pulpit. As a result, I have found
myself more grateful than ever for the written
Word of God and the Biblical principles
that caused Luther to make his famous declaration,
"Here I stand; I can do no other!"
I'm thankful that this cry has rung through
history and is still ours today.

Dear editor:
We sang in Bach's church today which was
a fabulous experience, but I think what happened
afterwards was even greater. We were
standing around Bach's tomb when a sevenyear
old girl named Enus came and stood
by me. She was with her 75·year old grandfather.
She took my hand and followed me
all around the church. She was learning English
in school and I knew a little German so
we could communicate. When I told her
grandfather we were from America, the look
in his eyes changed to one of desire. He told
Enus that we had flown over on a big plane
and her eyes lit up with surprise. When we
said goodbye, I wanted so much to be able
to bring her back with me. It made me realize
how lucky we are to be free to visit all kinds
of governments and how we take it so for
granted that everyone else can. The people
over here are longing to get out and see our
world. It made me want to cry when we could
make this girl and her grandfather smile just
by being friends. Just be thankful you are
there and can smile all the time because the
people here can't_

To the editor:
Far up and away, the last faint echo
softly spiraled away, and again it was quiet
in the St. Thomas Cathedral, East Germany.
Quiet, but warm. Not the cool silence I
had felt when first entering the church with
the rest of the Bethel Choir, but the peaceful
glow of hearts responding together - choir
and congregation - to the beautiful sacred
texts of Bach and Schein. Love. Communion.
Leaving the cathedral I was shocked back
to a cold, gut-knotting reality by seeing the
two gray uniformed, machine-gunned guards
still standing across the street. Waiting. For
Fear. Communism ... cold.

To the editor:
Europe hasn't blessed us with wonderful
weather but we are not complaining. Sometimes
I forget that I am in Europe but hearing unfamiliar
languages always reminds me.
The 'thing that has blessed me the most so
far is singing in these beautiful Cathedrals.
When we walk through one we always sing
one or two songs. The sounds echoing the
empty buildings remind me how great and
wonderful our God is.
Yesterday we sang in the St. Thomas Church
for the morning and evening services. The
people appreciated it so much. Their joy
just infected us, too, and everyone was very
mindful of the wonder of God. Praise the Lord
for all His blessings and mercies.

The trip so far has been a valuable experience;
one I wish that many more could have.
The people of all Germany are very friendly
and eager to communicate, if only with sign
language. If one did n't realize it before he
left, he realizes now that people from other
countries are human beings who ache much
in the same way we do. For me it has been
exciting to see how God has broken through
the language gap and used the choir to His
glory. I have grown to love America even
more than before after going through East
Germany where it is very drab and depressing.
It makes me praise God for letting me live
in America and yet my heart goes out to those
who know no difference, but have only lost
ambition and decided that this is how it
must be.

I'm sure this choir trip is something I'll

we spent in East Germany. Here we saw a

by boycottes to attend the next college

It should be understood that the college
choir, unlike other volunteer organizations
(ed. note: football, basketball,
etc.) does not receve a "wooden nickel"
from the college. The college choir is
self-sustaining. Because of this we must
charge a small admission. If we didn't
do this, we would be unable to meet
expenses and would therefore disband.
To me, this would be a tradgedy, because
the college choir exposes professional
musicians, as well as whole groups
of people, to the person of Jesus Christ;
a mission which I feel is terribly important.
I can truly say, that for every concert
I have sung, there has been a meaningful
spiritual experience to accompany it. I
hope for you it can be a spiritually renewing
experience. Some evening, come

treated royally in a nice hotel, we saw
people that appeared to be almost at the poverty
level with run-down homes and old
clothes. We saw a country with a drab, gayless

believe differently. Although America is far
from ideal, I'm glad that I live where I can
worship exactly as I please, say exactly what
I want, and do what I please.

Dear Editor:
Indignation, resentment, anger, and
consternation immediately welled up inside
me at the display during Chapel
on Friday, Feb. 4. What's the purpose?
What are you trying to prove?
But now I want to thank whoever is
responsible for the lesson that I learned.
God will work in spite of our dirty
underwear. A key to the Christian life
is to keep looking at Jesus. When we
look at ourselves, our frustrations, our
problems, our questions, the messes
we get into, we get discouraged, but we
cannot let our dirty underwear obscure
our vision of Jesus. As the song says:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus;
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
Turn your thoughts upon Jesus;
Think deep of His comforting love,
And the thoughts of sin and of self and
Will be lost in that rapture above.

My most vivid memories of Europe
will naturally be those of aspiring cathedrals,
a glimpse of the rugged Alps,
the Berlin Wall, hard rolls, jam and
strong coffee, and other typical sights
that belong in Europe. This is what the
common tourist sees from his sight-seeing
window, his ever-present camera
capturing most of the sights he missed.
And although I often felt like a shuntedabout
tourist, the nature and spirit of
our tour left us wth an unforgetable
aftertaste of actually getting to know
Europe and the European's way of
life, more spedfically Germany and the
Germans. Because any tourist can describe
the famous sights, this concluding
account of the tour will deal with just
some of the highlights that held exciting
encounters with people and their way of
living (as I recorded them in my journal).
I must backtrack a little to East Germany,
the place of my most poignant
memories, to insert a bit about Dietrich,
our East German guide. He was a
part of our group now and for most of
us it was the first time being in the
presence of Communist ideology, something
we fear and know so little about.
But as I sat there, I realized Dietrich
was human and must share some of our
own emotions. So I asked him about
his impressions of the war and this is
what he told me. At that time he was
too young to actually participate in
Hitler's war, but he was part of his
youth program. More than anything, it
was the memories of the war years,
scorched into his young life, that he'll
never forget. He said if I'd lived through
it, I'd know what he meant. He told of
one incident while he was attending a
boarding school just outside of Berlin,
when the last battle of Berlin was under
way. His own mother was in the city,
his father wounded in an army hospital
somewhere, and he in his boarding
school witnessing all the horrors of war.
An air raid was going on - they could
tell by the scarlet clouds overhead -
and as he and his classmates watched,
for that was all :they could do, he said
he never felt such doom and utter
dispair, not knowing what would become
of his family and fearing the Russian
takeover. As they watched the air raid,
they caught sight of a plane shot down,
and then two parachutes descend slowly.
He and his friend decided to investigate,
and happened on a passing truck
which led them to a mob of farmers armed
with pitchforks pointed at an American
soldier. Dietrich, gripped with the
urgency of the situation, said he suddenly
felt compelled by humanitarian
convictions to act and so he planted himself
between the pitchforks and the
soldier until Russian soldiers came and
took him away. To this day he believes
he did the right thing, the humanitarian
thing even if the soldier was his enemy.
And parenthetically he seemed to be
saying that the socialist state is a humanitarian
Our concert in Munich, after leaving
East Germany, exposed us to a Bavarian
custom. Before we left on tour part
of our orientation information was that
Germans customarily shake hands when
meeting another person but we discovered
that the Bavarians are fanatics
for handshakng! While we were yet
singing our last few numbers, the burlylooking
pastor sauntered down the aisle
and sat down in the front row, directly
under Dr. Berglund's right arm. We all
wondered what his next move would be.
But at the close, he then rose up and in
his broken English said that we had
"sung .to their hearts" and to acknowledge
this they would like to shake our
hands. He then lined the 67 of us up on
both sides of the aisle to receive everyone's
thankful handshakes. And what
hearty, firm grips! We soon learned
to be wary of little old ladies - their
handshakes are enough to wrench an

the curtseying and handshaking we
were treated to pop and others, like
the pastor, to good German beer.
Because our concerts were, for the
most part performed in cathedrals or
churches, we had some interesting re-.
sponses, like the hand shaking in
Munich. The conced in Tussen, a few
days later, was a breeze. That is, instead
of clapping, which is unheard of
in many of the churches, the audience
waved their programs, each time more
vigorously. And it certainly felt refreshing.
From then on "program waving"
became a family joke, shared by Albert
and Hans, who occasionally sat in the
back row, waving up a storm.
From Bavaria we continued upwards
but southwards, into the Alps but
through an ear of Austria towards
Zurich. It's almost uncanny but all our
associations with Austria - the air and
sunshine, the pastoral valleys and quaint
houses, the winding, narrow road on
which we travelled, strains of The Sound
of Music, and the rugged Alps that
towered over us - all became a delightful
reality. I wonder if Austrians have

Spire's bricks
are hod to take
by Darrel Nelson
Spire Editor
Quite a number of people have been
asking about the Spire. Both of them
wanted to know how it would fulfill the
campaign promise of being different.
"How will it be different?" they asked.
So, considering the widespread interest
in the welfare and progress of this pra..
ject, I will illustrate to you, the hungry
masses, by means of a story.
A bricklayer once labored at building
a wall. As he went about his work, his
mind began to wander back to his first
efforts at the trade. How vivid and full
these memories were. He could clearly
remember his initial attempt to mix the
proper proportions of cement and sand.
It seemed that his nose was again peppered
to sneezing by the powdering
gray cement dust. That first batch, he
recollected, was about as creamy as
half cooked oatmeal.
Setting down his trowel for just a
minute he recalled the day that a whole
morning's work had to be destroyed and
rebuilt because he had read the blue
print on its side. "How foolish that was,"
he said to himself. He so perfectly remembered
the time when he lay sprawled
out on the truck seat after straining
his back trying to lift that pallet of
bricks. "Never do that again, that's for
sure. You know, I've sure done a lot"
of stupid things in my day," he said.
What delectable memories.
Casl.ally glancing at his watch, he
stood up with a start. Two-thirty! He
hadn't laid a brick since one o'clock.
This job had to be finished today. His
thoughts racing, he raised his stone
scarred right hand to his chin in a gesture
of contemplation. "Now how did I
do it that day at Glasston when I had
to finish that house alone?" his mind
calculated. "The pallet of bricks could
go there so I wouldn't have to walk the

be there. And if I work from east to
west ... sure, I can do it," he chuckled.
"There certainly is no substitute for
Working as only a seasoned bricklayer
could, he was warmed by the sensation
of self confidence. Nothing thrilled him
as much as doing what he liked best
and realizing what he was doing. That
solid weight and even texture of good
quality bricks reminded him of how
really complicated it was to achieve
such a simple thing. He figured it must
have taken quite a few years to discover
all of the ingredients that go into a
good cement mix. "You just can't use
any old cement for anything," he
thought. His rough fingers could still
enjoy the uniform smoothness of cement,
mixed with the right amount of
water and sand. And it had to be good
sand. Very conscious of his sense of
pride and accomplishment, he methodically
placed brick on brick, thinking
nothing of its sameness. The arrowstraight
line of the growing wall reminded
him of how many weeks and
monJths of mistakes it had taken to do
it so perfectly.
It seemed like no time at all before
the wall stretched before him, rows
upon rows of obedient, perfectly ordered
soldiers, all marching at his command.
It wasn't every day that he felt so satisfied.
Hosing his trowel clean, he paused,
Five-thirty. Done in good time. But how
much easier it would have been if he
had kept his mind on the work instead
of letting his mind wander. He would
much rather do his work well than do
it absentmindedly and later regret it,
Couldn't work and dream at the sa~
time, he decided. "Ought to write that

Since the last issue of the Clarion, the
Bethel Royals have played both exceptionally
well and disastrously poor -
building a 4-game win streak and a
4-1 Tri-State Conference record only
to see their hopes for the conference
title fade with two losses to Yankton
(77-74) and Northwestern (98-68).
Due largely to improved rebounding,
freethrow shooting and improved play
from the bench, Bethel took victories
from Westmar, Sioux Falls, Northland
and Concorda-St. Paul, before dropping
the two important conference games
last weekend. Now 4-3 in the conference
Bethel is behind Northwestern at 7-0 and
Yankton with a 6-1 mark, and with
only 3 conference games left to play,
Bethel must return to the win column
and hope for at least 2 Yankton losses
to salvage a tie for second place.
Bethel's wrestling team lost to St.
Thomas 29-17 last Tuesday to drop its
, dual meet record to 4-6.
Fred Witzgall won by pin to lead the
Royal's efforts. Mark Eggiman won a
tight one 5-4, Craig Johnson won by forfeit
and Dave Peterson wrestled to a
draw to complete the scoring.
Bethel finished second among six
teams in the Pillsbury Tournament last
The next match will be tonight against
Concordia Eau Claire at Concordia. This
Tuesday, the team will face Concordia in
a dual meet here at Bethel.

Carlson, Steve Jergenson, and Pete Genheimer (I to r) are astounded to

a comedy for big kids
by Beth Jacobson
The play "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" was produced by the Creative
Dramatics for Children class this Interim.
Their first two performances
were at Northwestern College, for the
Bethel students and faculty. The play
lasted approximately two hours and provided
a laugh a minute.
The class, taught by Dr. Donald Rainbow,
tried out for parts the first day
of Interim. From then on, they practiced
every afternoon and did not have
full rehearsals until the week before
the first performance. Many of the class
sessions were spent learning the principles
behind creative dramatics for

Communist ideology and even putting
children and applying the students' imaginations
to create and dramatize various
roles. The class also had to create
their own costumes, sets, and props,
all of which were great assets to the
total performance.
The class had a total of eight performances,
six of them for approximately
2,500 elementary school children in the
Moundsview district. Kay Eliason, who
played the Cat, said, "the college kids
laughed at everything" while the younger
audiences "just sat all big-eyed" and
absorbed it. The cast also stressed the
fact that it was a fun play to do and
that they enjoyed the reactions of the
different audiences.

Eugene Johnson directed the art tour.
It included about 30 people, President

"The Lundquists were a riot," said
sophomore Ginger Metcalf. "We had
such a great time with them."
Ginger greatly enjoyed the tour, but
was disappointed in the famous Louvre
in Paris. "It's just a big place filled with
old, old paintings no one takes care of.
And all those tons of nudes get hard
to take after awhile," she said. According

I guess I should have suspected something when the
referees' seeing eye dogs were greyhounds (Yankton's team
nickname). Or when their striped shirts were yellow and
black (Yankton school colors) instead of the ordinary white
and black. Or at least when the public address announcer
introduced the officials as part of Yankton's starting lineup.
Bethel could have won the game in spite of the referees.
But the extremely poor officiating certainly didn't aid their
cause. rr'he officials didn't steal the game from the Royals -
but they sure were accessories to the crime.

Northwestern's Red Raiders played ,Bethel's g,ame for one
half and decided that was enough. They shifted into high
gear and cruised past the seemingly inept Royals 98-68. The
Raiders seemed intent on demonstrating to their spirited
boosters that Bethel didn't even belong on the same court
as the defending Tri-State Conference champions. Alfter
eight minutes of the second half, they proved it. After that, the
Northwestern cheerleaders could have run the Royals off
the court.
In tonight's rematch you'll see an extremely well conditioned
Northwestern team, a team of championship caliber. You'll
also see how much pride the Royals have left in themselves,
whether or not they're going to let last weekend ruin the
rest of the season. ---------------------------------- ':'''The Imperials concert has the largest presale of tickets

Beware of studies with a small number of clusters
While some of us get to conduct individually randomized trials, I'd say that cluster randomized trials are pretty much the norm in field experiments in economics. Add to that the increase in the level of ambition we recently acquired to have interventions with multiple treatment arms (rather than one treatment and one control group) and mix it with a pinch of logistical and budgetary constraints, we have a non-negligible number of trials with small numbers of clusters (schools, clinics, villages, etc.).

Winter is the perfect time to think back over the bounty of summer and to judge just how efficiently you made use of your vegetable gifts. Unfortunately, most folks will—upon such self-examination—have to admit that all too much of the harvest's produce went to waste as a result of inadequate storage space, a lack of time to process the fresh goodies, etc.
A juice extractor can help you avoid much of the spoilage that normally occurs when your garden or orchard gives you "too much of a good thing." And better yet, a "juicer" can be a real boon to you folks who want to maintain a healthful diet because it allows you to consume wholesome fruits or vegetables in concentrated liquid form (three pounds of carrots, for instance, will reduce to a pint or two of juice your body can metabolize more easily than it could the whole vegetables).
Six Juicers, in General
With the advantages of juice extractors in mind, MOTHER EARTH NEWS conducted a juicer comparison with six popular models in order to point out the good and not-so-good features of each. Should you be in the market for one of these handy devices, you will be able to pick the unit that best fits your budget and needs. We've compiled a Juicer Facts and Figures Chart to help with the decision.
The three electric juicers, which formed one of our two test groups, all provide a super-quick means of obtaining fresh juice, and since no heating is involved, produce healthful, raw liquids that retain most (if not all) of the vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and enzymes found in the original foods.
Our three sample steamer-juicers on the other hand produce scalding hot, totally filtered juice (in greater quantities per pound of produce than do the mechanized devices, but at a loss of some vitamins) which can be bottled straight from the mechanism or turned into excellent jellies or wines. In addition, the steamers (which will also steam-cook vegetables, process food for freezing, and make purees) work fine atop a wood stove and, therefore, will appeal to folks who don't use electricity.
It should be noted, however, that the steamer-juicers require from 20 to 90 minutes' cooking time to produce juice. If you use an electric or gas range, you'd probably consume more energy dollars to heat up your steamer than you would in operating an electric juicer.
The Electric Juicers
The Acme Juicerator: Our evaluators found this firm's Model 5001 (which sells for $149.95) to be the most compact of the electric juicers that we tested. The Acme is solidly built of stainless steel and plastic, and is easy to disassemble as well. The testers did find the Juicerator's spinning screen/basket to be hard to clean, but Acme offers disposable mesh filters which should solve the wash-up problem and remove some portion of the fruit's pulp from the juice (an operation that the Juicerator does not normally perform).
The Miracle Ultra-Matic: This automatic juice extractor, and the Oster unit that follows, both remove a good portion of pulp from the juice (and that added function is reflected in their somewhat low scores in the "Yield" column of the chart). The Miracle features mostly stainless steel construction, and sells for $299.50. It's about the easiest to clean of the automatic juicers because it spits the fruit pulp into an external container, but is a bit more complicated to disassemble than are the other models tested. In fact, the Miracle comes equipped with a special tool to make take-aparts less of a chore—a piece of equipment which, of course, carries the disadvantage of being "one more thing" to keep track of.
The Oster Automatic Pulp Ejector Juicer: Our testers were impressed with the fact that the Oster is easy to take apart and to reassemble, but noted that they found the unit difficult to clean. In addition, the workers weren't too fond of the Oster's mostly plastic construction. The rectangular juicer does have an ace in the hole, however: It's the least expensive of the "electrics" that we tested, costing only $86 for the Model 36204. Our researchers also pointed out that—though it's a bit difficult to fit a quart jar under the Oster's awkwardly placed spout—the inexpensive juicer actually has several features that are lacking in the other electric units that we evaluated: a two-speed motor, an adjustable cord, and its own juice-catching container (complete with measuring marks).
The Steam Juicers
The Ashdown Mehu-Liisa: All the parts of this Finnish-made, stainless steel juicer fit together perfectly and are very easy to clean. The unit has a thick, even heating base, a good-quality siphon hose (though the Saftborn juicer's hose clip is easier to use than that on the Ashdown product), and spot-welded handles on all three levels. Our testers felt that the quality of construction and materials evident in the Mehu-Liisa (which costs $95 for the all-stainless-steel model and $76.50 for a design with an aluminum base) greatly exceeded those of the other steamers that we tested. This quality doesn't mean, however, that the Finnish unit works any better. It's just easier to clean, probably more durable, and prettier to have around.
The Kitchen Steam. Canner-Juicer: Since it's all aluminum, without a thick bottom pan, this juicer is the least "solid" of the steam models tested and tends to develop "hot spots" when in use. (On the other hand, the Kitchen Steam only costs $38! )
The device's handles are made of a plastic that insulates much better than do the steel handles on the other two steamers, but its bottom pan—besides being significantly smaller than the others—has no handles at all! Therefore, if the juicer has to be lifted, the hot base must be left behind. And because of the unit's aluminum construction, this steamer won't come clean without a good application of "elbow grease".
Finally, the trough around our test model's vegetable pan trapped some of the liquid and prevented it from falling to the juice level, and the siphon became soft under heat and occasionally fell off.
The Saftborn Juicer: Although this steamer—like the unit described above—is made of aluminum, it has a heavy bottom pan that distributes heat evenly. The siphon hose is made of good rubber and glass, and has a clamp that's very easy to operate. However-though the Saftborn's bottom pan is as deep as is that of the Mehu-Liisa—this $50.70 juicer has no handles on the fruit level and also requires heavy cleanup scouring because the aluminum tends to stain.
The Conclusion
All in all, since any one of the juicers tested will give you gallons of glorious juice and prove to be a wise investment in terms of easy food processing and better diet, the choice really boils down to the questions of esthetics, durability, minor conveniences, and the price you can afford to pay. The main point we'd like to make is this: However you do it, it's smart to "juice it up"!
In a Class of Its Own
We didn't include the Vita-Mix 3600 in our juicer comparisons simply because this multipurpose tool lists "juicin"' as only one of a number of talents! Besides making a thick, concentrated juice of the whole fruit or vegetable (peel, seed, stems, and all), the device can grind grain, knead bread, chop ice, make ice cream, produce nut butters, cook soup, and chop salad, among other things. The VitaMix, which looks very much like a big blender with a spigot, is also "self-cleaning"!
The super-duper, stainless steel appliance sells for $295.95 with a five-year parts replacement guarantee.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Marathon bombing suspect, charged in federal court with using a weapon of mass destruction
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged today with using a weapon of mass destruction in the April 15 attacks that ripped through a crowd at the finish line of the world-renowned race, killing three people and injuring scores of others
Tsarnaev's initial court appearance was conducted today by a federal magistrate judge in his hospital room. Tsarnaev was able to respond to inquiries, nodding yes and at one point saying, "No,'' according to a transcript of the hearing. A person familiar with the proceeding said Tsarnaev had mouthed the word.
Tsarnaev also faces a charge of malicious destruction of property resulting in death. The charges carry the possibility of the death penalty or life in prison for the 19-year-old Cambridge man, who is listed in serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center after suffering multiple gunshot wounds before his capture by police on Friday.
The federal public defender's office has been assigned to the case. Miriam Conrad, the chief public defender, had no comment.
The charges came a week to the day after two powerful bombs exploded at the Marathon finish line, killing three people, injuring more than 170, and leaving a region on edge. With Tsarnaev in custody and a second suspect, Tsarnaev's brother Tamerlan, dead after a confrontation with police early Friday morning, authorities now say the danger appears to be over.
"Although our investigation is ongoing, today's charges bring a successful end to a tragic week for the city of Boston and for our country,'' said Attorney General Eric Holder. "We've once again shown that those who target innocent Americans and attempt to terrorize our cities will not escape from justice. We will hold those who are responsible for these heinous acts accountable to the fullest extent of the law.''
Tsarnaev waived his right to a detention hearing. His next hearing will be May 30, court officials said.
An affidavit filed in support of the charges by FBI Special Agent Daniel R. Genck provided startling details and a window into the evidence that law enforcement has collected connecting Tsarnaev to the deadly bombs.
The affidavit said, among other things, that, based on reviews of surveillance video, and photos and videos provided by the public, Tsarnaev stood for four minutes next to a bomb that he had placed on the ground in front of the Forum Restaurant on Boylston Street.
He had a cellphone in his hand and appeared to take a photograph of the bomb on the sidewalk before he walked away, the affidavit said.
About 30 seconds before the first explosion hit just down the street 120 yards away, near the Marathon's finish line, "he lifts his phone to his ear as if he is speaking on his cellphone, and keeps it there for approximately 18 seconds. A few seconds after he finishes the call, the large crowd of people around him can be seen reacting to the first explosion,'' Genck wrote.
"Virtually every head turns to the east (toward the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm. Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm. He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving west, away from the direction of the finish line,'' said the affidavit.
The affidavit referred to Tsarnaev as "Bomber Two'' a slight variation from what officials had called him previously, "Suspect Two.''
Genck added: "He walks away without his knapsack, having left it on the ground where he had been standing. Approximately, 10 second later, an explosion occurs in the location where Bomber Two had placed his knapsack.''
The affidavits also revealed that the FBI searched Tsarnaev's dorm room at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Sunday and found "a large pyrotechnic, a black jacket and white hat of the same general appearance as those worn by Bomber Two at the Boston Marathon.''
When he was captured in Watertown Friday night, Tsarnaev had his UMass-Dartmouth student ID card on him along with credit cards and other forms of IDs, the affidavit said.
The sworn statement by the agent also said that Tsarnaev had been shot multiple times when he was captured.
"He had visible injuries including apparent gunshot wounds to the head, neck, legs and hand,'' Genck wrote.
The new developments came after the White House said that Tsarnaev would be tried in the federal court system.
Speaking at a media briefing in Washington, spokesman Jay Carney said Tsarnaev would not be tried as an enemy combatant.
"We will process this terrorist through our system of justice,'' he said this morning.
Pointing to other terrorists who have been tried and convicted in federal court, he said, "The system has repeatedly proven that it can successfully handle the threat that we continue to face.''
He also said that US citizens cannot be tried before military commissions. Tsarnaev is a naturalized US citizen. He was sworn in as a citizen in September.
The hunt for the two Tsarnaevs ended Friday but not before they had killed one police officer and wounded another grievously.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fled from the Watertown gun battle early Friday where his brother was fatally wounded. He eluded a daylong manhunt, but was spotted by a vigilant resident and captured Friday evening after a standoff with police in a Watertown backyard.
Russian authorities warned the FBI in early 2011 that Tamerlan Tsarnaev may have been a follower of "radical Islam,'' but the agency has said it investigated and "did not find any terrorism activity.''
Carney defended the FBI today, citing the FBI's statement and saying "they investigated it thoroughly and did not find terror activity, domestic or foreign.''
But he also noted that President Obama has "called for answers to a number of questions'' about the case.
The Tsarnaev brothers killed MIT Police Officer Sean Collier and wounded MBTA Transit Police Officer Richard Donohue Jr., authorities say.
Donohue is breathing on his own now after a breathing tube was removed, and he called for his wife today, a law enforcement source said.
