The fact that we exercised this right should not have irritated Washington. But we were denied aid that had been given previously. Just as we accept the social and political order in the U.S., the U.S. should accept the social and political choice we have made...

The Boston Pops will play--Harvard fight songs instead of the 1812 Overture--and maybe there'll even be dancing girls. If you get one of the sought after two-for-$350 seats in the prestigious 4000-person Crimson Circle, you'll get a better view, and maybe you'll be sitting right next to Charles...
...marshaled resources to help defend the Hawkins County schools. Charges P.A.W. President Anthony Podesta: "If the Fundamentalists are successful, they will have established a right to a sectarian education in the public schools." But to the Concerned Women for America, a conservative group, the case represents a basic fight over religious freedom and the right to control the education of one's children.
