Beginning with the Pilgrim colonists, who brought the Ainsworth Psalter with them to the New World, church hymns were popular across the region.

In the Book of Revelation the destruction of Babylon, a city which seems to be a symbol of every kind of evil, is foretold. The connection with the actual historical city of Babylon is purely metaphorical, as the connection of "Jerusalem" in the poetry of William Blake can bear no relation to the actual history or geography of the city of Jerusalem. Virtually all New Testament scholars believe that "Babylon" is here used as a metaphor or euphemism for the power of the Roman Empire, which was oppressing the nascent church as the Babylonian em ...

The Jets began as the Titans of New York, a charter member of the American Football League in 1960. The name "Titans" was intended to be a play on "Giants", New York's highly successful NFL franchise. The team played its home games at the decrepit Polo Grounds and did not draw spectators well, despite fielding respectable teams that finished .500 (7–7) in their first two seasons. However, after the 1962 season, when the Titans finished 5–9, the team's future in New York was in doubt. The team was saved from bankruptcy by a group i ...
