...Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, it avoided the voluntary question by ruling simply that the First Amendment does not compel a state to let citizens pray in a state-owned facility whenever they wish to do so.

Tonight's game should tell whether the promising Harvard hockey team will be in contention for Ivy League and E.C.A.C. honors or will have to content itself with the spoiler's role...
