GGETTING AT recalcitrant students through their pocketbooks is no new strategy for the federal government. The most recent parallel to the new regulations linking federal aid to draft registration came in the late 1960's. Bill after bill was then proposed to bar federal aid from college students known to have taken part in protests and demonstrations. Harvard never had to deal with such a problem because the bills were never passed.

Those who oppose registration for the draft, and especially we who have not complied with this law, were put on trial along...
...Vatican observers, the Pope's honoring of Bernardin so soon after he was named head of the nation's largest archdiocese was also a sign that John Paul approved of the criticism of U.S. nuclear arms policy by a panel led by Bernardin; the panel's draft of a pastoral letter is scheduled for final approval by the U.S. bishops' conference...
