A decade behind schedule, a $350 million downtown (Los Angeles) high school finally opened on Wednesday after years of environmental, seismic and legal troubles. Much of the Edward R. Roybal Learning Center, formerly called the Belmont Learning Center, already was constructed before fears grew about toxic gases rising from an old oil field upon which it was built. Construction was halted in 2000, then resumed in 2002 only to be thwarted again, this time by the discovery of an earthquake fault that crosses the site. The school became a symbol of bureaucratic ineptitude and wasted taxpayer money. The ensuing scandal swept a district superintendent and almost half the school board out of office.

"In a survey released this summer by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, just 59 percent of 35,000 respondents said they believe in a hell ... Skepticism about hell is growing even in evangelical churches and seminaries, says one theologian here, a bastion of conservative evangelicalism ... Americans' optimism and tolerance for diversity complements a growing view of God as benevolent, not judgmental, other experts say. 'They believe everyone has an equal chance, at this life and the next,' said Alan Segal, a professor of religion at Barnard College and the author of Life After Death: A History of the Afterlife in Western Religion. 'So hell is disappearing, absolutely.'"
