...walking indictment of the U.S.'s loose grip not only on its nuclear secrets but on its enforcement procedures, will go from shackles and solitary confinement at a county jail in Santa Fe to his own home in White Rock, near his old workplace. The conditions of that stay have yet to be set, but some things seem certain: one phone line, no computers...
Monday, by a wider margin than many had anticipated, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to prohibit the practice of student-led prayers before football games. The widely anticipated decision was a rebuke to the Santa Fe, Texas, school district, which had long maintained the rights of students to lead pre-game "invocations" (the contents of which were generally left up to the students). Before two local families filed a suit against the district in 1995, many schools allowed student-elected "chaplains" to lead prayers before the games; after the suit, however, the "invocations" were introduced...

Those families are not feeling especially popular in Santa Fe, where...

What separates this case from the 1992 case, say the defendants, is that football games are a voluntary, extracurricular activity that those offended by prayer are free to skip. In addition, they say, Santa Fe students vote on whether to have the prayer. The opponents say that forcing students to choose between being subjected to a religious event and facing potential ostracism by not attending a game in a football-crazy community is inherently unfair...
