KERA News
The "666" is still barely visible in the left panels of this photo of the Legacy of Love monument, on the corner of Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs in Dallas. Volunteers tried to scrub the graffiti off over the weekend.

In today's All Things Considered local block from the KERA Newsroom: 

Vandals defaced six spots in Dallas with the numerals 666 over the weekend. Two of the most prominent were gathering places for gays and lesbians. And some of the best health-care minds in the world spent last week at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado.

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
