The following is reprinted (without permission) from the 26 Feb 1986 SF Chronicle's "Personals" section compiled by Leah Garchik. -------------------------------------------------------------------- "It's well worth $300 a day to seek out people who agree with our goals and values." Arthur Owens, president of Sports and Health Club Inc,. after a Minnesota judge ordered the chain of fitness clubs to pay a $300 daily fine for hiring only born-again Christians. Owens had listed God as the owner of the business in papers he submitted to the court. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I am aware that there are anti-discrimination in hiring laws, but frankly, if AO wants to surround himself with his own kind, I'm all for it. If anyone has more details on the case, I'd be interested in hearing about it. By the way, what is the legal status of God? (Not that He's worried by it, of course!) ucbvax!brahms!weemba Matthew P Wiener/UCB Math Dept/Berkeley CA 94720

One woman listed "God" as the beneficiary of the will. The Marshall's office issued a report, "After due and diligent search, God could not be found in this county."
