...wake of the antiwar demonstrations that brought out some 200,000 protesters in San Francisco and New York (TIME, April 21), patriots of every stripe last week demanded legislation to penalize desecrators of the American flag. In New York, where at least one flag was burned in the Central Park Sheep Meadow by overardent symbolists, city police scrutinized thousands of photographs in search of identifiable flag razers, each of whom, if convicted, would have to pay a $50 state fine for touching off Old Glory.

...recent conference in Washington of "Clergymen and Laymen Concerned About Viet Nam," 500 seminarians signed a petition urging the abolition of their exempt status. In a letter to the New York Times last month, three antiwar clergymen, Lutheran Minister Richard J. Neuhaus, Jesuit Father Daniel V. Kilfoyle and Rabbi Lloyd Tennenbaum, contended that "far from aiding institutionalized religion, the total exemption of clergy does American religion a great disservice." This month, Harvard Divinity School will sponsor a two-day seminar on the issue...
