Today in History for November 7th

In the end, the Akron Rubber Bowl's splendid past couldn't save it from the wrecking ball. Allowed in recent decades to crumble into a public health hazard, the landmark 78-year-old stadium will start to come down next week.

In his new book, "Through My Father's Eyes," Franklin Graham recounts that his father had concerns.
Billy Graham had become known as "America's Pastor" by advising presidents of both parties, from Dwight Eisenhower to George W. Bush. Would his son, coming into his own as a more partisan evangelical, be taking sides?
