One Baylor alumnus will never forget the night of Oct. 15, 1979, when a tragic crime turned his world upside down. Now Brooks Douglass has moved on, enough to co-write and produce a movie, “Heaven’s Rain,” in which he chronicles the story in a series of flashbacks so that audiences can travel his personal journey toward healing and forgiveness.

Dr. James A. Roberts, professor of marketing at Baylor, has studied consumerism in America and has revealed some of the secrets of marketers in his recent book “Shiny Objects: Why We Spend Money We Don’t Have In Search of Happiness We Can’t Buy.” Barnes & Noble on Waco Drive will be hosting a book signing for Roberts today from 7 to 9 p.m., but we decided to get an early start on the questions.

Mostly everyone can agree that money doesn’t buy happiness, but few people would decide that they need to write a book to actually prove that claim.

Depending on your point of view, this was either a great Baylor football game to not have on television, or a game many fans wished they could have watched all the way through.
