Severely disappointed.

badstarOn the way to work this evening, I stopped at Rite Aid. In line I saw US News & World Report on Display with "Sacred places" emblazoned on the front cover. I picked it up and glanced at the table of contents. Saw Delphi listed as one of the places and decided to go ahead and buy the magazine. There was a long line behind me, so it seemed rude to flip through the magazine and waste time.
I got on the train and found the article, which is about 3/4 page long. I read the article.
If I didn't know better, from the article, I would swear that Delphi is just some old ruined building with geological fault lines running under it that collected some sweet-smelling gas that makes people go funny. Oh, and there were a couple of Plutarch references.
Okay. HOW do you write a an article about Delphi, however short, and completely fail to mention Apollo's name- even once? There was no mention of spirituality in the article or Delphi being a sacred place.
Seriously thinking about writing letter to editor.
