...case, Earls v. Board of Education, represents the first federal challenge to a drug-testing requirement for students in academic courses. Many extracurricular activities at Tecumseh High School, such as the marching band, choir and academic team, form integral parts of the academic curriculum.

Clergy countrywide had similar experiences. Sixty percent of all Americans attended some kind of memorial, and Bible sales rose 27%. However, the new impulse isn't sticking with everyone. Gallup polls taken Sept. 21 and 22 suggested that weekend church and synagogue attendance rose only 6% (compared with, say, 20% after President Kennedy was shot...
