...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 or indirect state aid to parochial schools. Some Protestant and Jewish groups are fighting to keep this...
...CIVIL RIGHTS. Beginning with the 1954 Supreme Court decision against school segregation, the civil rights movement was the major cause of the churches' new activism. Most denominations already paid lip service at least to integration, but the growing national concern and the direct challenge to the Christian conscience brought about a flurry of new resolutions and exhortations. In the 1960s, the civil rights struggle moved the churches further and further along from talk to action...

It was a measure of the serious ness of the situation that the Marines, for all their misgivings about the wall's feasibility, last week began bulldozing their coastal area in preparation for just such a lethal barrier...
Today's best hope for improving the cure rate lies not in more sophisticated technology but in a return to the use of the human eye, aided by magnifying lenses, for direct examination of tissues in which disease may be developing. The technique is called colposcopy (pronounced col-poss-cuppy), and its most ardent proponent is the University of Mississippi's Dr. Karl A. Bolten, who learned it from its inventor in Bolten's native Germany...
...indeed make more use of direct and open grants to the University now that President Johnson has forbidden the Agency to work through the conduits. But if the formula for government aid to academic projects is now to be open, it is unlikely that the CIA, by its secretive nature, would make such grants. If it should offer Harvard a grant for some specified work, Ford's proposal makes good sense. It would allow the University to determine at that time whether the terms of the CIA's offer did not undermine the credibility of Harvard as a haven...
