...education, although since World War II exceptions began to appear-first in public bus service, then in publicly-paid-for milk for parochial schools. When the Johnson Administration in 1965 devised a bill under which parochial schools did receive federal aid-in the shape of textbooks and many other classroom facilities-there was no major Protestant opposition. And there may be little objection to more direct aid for parochial schools in the future. But some rearguard battles are being waged. New York State, which is currently rewriting its constitution, is witnessing a hassle about an 1894 clause barring direct...

But in each generation a few thrust themselves forward, or are thrust forward by the situation--in the stadium, in the classroom, before the microphone--and come to stand as changing symbols for the largely unchanging multitude. They are those who ride with the spirit of the times, those who are under the circumstances the most vocal and aggressive and, also, those who are seized upon by the public as "typical."
