Bakkers delay tour to aid PTL revival efforts
Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker postpone an 18 city preaching and singing tour to avoid distracting PTL revival efforts at Heritage USA. The move, blamed on a slower ticket draw, shifts the plan to March and follows Bakker's exit from PTL amid a sex scandal. A Malibu beachfront rental is also reported for November. Meanwhile Nancy Reagan's breast cancer diagnosis spurs increased demand for mammograms with higher appointment show rates at several centers.
