Zion, Illinois, was founded in 1901 by a
faith healer named Dowie as a place for his followers to live. He
ran the only church in town. After he died, a guy named Voliva took
over as General Overseer. These guys taught that the Earth is flat,
which if you think about it, it might as well be. Anyway, there's a
bakery in Zion that makes delicious fig sandwich cookies,
indistinguishable from the more well-known Newtons. And I thought
maybe Newtons were so named to highlight how physics could prove the
Earth was round. But that wasn't it at all.
