Oral Roberts, one of the first fundamentalist preachers to recognize the potential of television to build a vast religious following, has died after reportedly suffering injuries from a fall near his home in Newport Beach, CA. He was 91. In a statement, Richard Roberts said that his father "was the only man of his generation to build a worldwide ministry, an accredited university, and a medical school." Roberts sometimes raised funds by telling his viewers that he needed money to expand his operations because God had told him to do so, and that if he failed to raise the funds God would "call me home." In the mid-'80s, his medical school -- always a surprise given his faith-healing credentials -- failed after a few years. Years ago, a reporter, after questioning Roberts about criticism that his faith-healing claims had led many to believe they had been cured of disease when they had not, concluded the interview by complimenting Roberts on his "well heeled" looking clothes. "Oh, don't compliment me," he replied, "compliment my wife. She buys all my clothes for me. I'm color blind." "Oh," the reporter shot back, "can't you heal that?"
