Openly or Secretly. In its decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously held the Alabama law to be unconstitutional, on the ground that it violated separation of church and state by permitting a government to interfere in the internal affairs of a reli gious denomination. The First Amendment's church-state clause, argued Judge Richard T. Rives, means that neither a state nor the Federal Government "can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organization." The decision, which also reaffirmed denominational title to the property of three other breakaway Methodist churches in Alabama, automatically knocked...
...Packers gave away age (two years per man), and at many positions they gave away vital speed. Their edge was experience. Their old pros overpowered the Raiders' youth and enthusiasm. Coolly and methodically, Green Bay ground the challengers down, capitalizing on Oakland's mistakes while making practically none of its own. Not once did Green Bay draw an offside or illegal motion penalty-while Oakland, baffled by the staggered cadence counts of Packer Quarterback Bart Starr, twice jumped the center snap. The Packers never fumbled; the Raiders did three times. The only interception came when Green...
...live in towns and villages is relatively easy. Far tougher is trapping the nomads who wander across the map. To intercept them, the epidemiologists plot their seasonal visits to water holes and waylay them there. Timbuktu, the Sahara's ancient crossroads for commerce, is now a prime hunting ground for vaccinators...
...long-range planning center for higher education, drawing heavily on university advisers and given authority to guide federal policy. Its first task would be to seek agreement on how federal aid should be distributed. He rejected the idea of broad, unselective grants to all institutions on the ground that this would merely "perpetuate, only on a more costly scale, everything that is wrong" with higher education now. One. of his proposals was for the designation of a few high-quality existing campuses as "national universities," which would be given preferential support for their scholars and facilities...
Several afternoons I talked my way into the briefings at the Joint U.S. Public Affairs Office in downtown Saigon. Here the press corps is given a daily rundown on U.S. air, ground, and sea action by an information officer from the appropriate service. All these men really do is call attention to 'typos' in the mimeographed dope sheets given to the reporters at the door. If there are no questions from the floor (they are raised only after important battles or rumors) the briefings (called the 4:45 follies since the credibility gap days) last only 15 or 20 minutes...
