In addition, the court will be asked to decide whether the First Amendment wall separating church and state was breached by a recently passed Pennsylvania statute providing state aid for nonpublic school instruction...

He was the mediator and fixer in all personal police matters: off duty cops getting drunk, one cop screwing another's wife, extortion attempts on individual cops from their friends, etc., and the enforcer...
Foster and the realigned Crimson offense will have to contend with a defense that, despite last weekend's nightmarish performance, is basicallysound. The Knights have eight defensive starters back from a team that went 6-3 last season, including a 29-0 victory over Princeton in football's centennial game...
