...things with the ashes of their cremated dead. They may be left in a cemetery or they may be scattered to the winds-but then only if from an airplane flying at least 5,000 feet up and three miles out to sea. No doubling up to reduce charter fees, either: no more than one loved one may be strewn per flight. Keeping Uncle's ashes in an urn on the mantelpiece, next to the pewter sconces and Aunt Sadie's silver-framed portrait, is currently a misdemeanor under California...

...rare and significant move, which may encourage similar efforts across the country, the New York regents last month agreed with Mrs. Cohen and granted her school a five-year provisional charter. The regents acted on the basis of a glowing report from their three-man evaluation committee. Asked to determine whether the school matched orthodox junior colleges in academic quality, the committee reported that "the appropriate question" might be whether any junior-college program could in fact match Mrs. Cohen...
