...lower court judges who eventually try the case of Flast et al. are sure to do their homework on another Supreme Court decision handed down last week. That case involved the question of whether New York, or any other state, can require its public school boards to lend textbooks to students in all private schools-including religious schools. Members of the board of education for both Rensselaer and Columbia counties argued that such programs violate the First Amendment ban on "establishment of religion."

Equally inflammatory to unstable minds is the rising hyperbole of U.S. political debate. Race, Viet Nam, crime- all lend themselves to verbal overkill, not so much by candidates as by extremists: the John Birchers, the Rap Browns, the most ardent war critics, the Ku Kluxers. The evidence is everywhere. In Dallas, Assistant District Attorney William Alexander snarls on a TV show: "Earl Warren shouldn't be impeached-he should be hanged."

Boot Off the Bench. Halas' sideline pyrotechnics will be missed most by Chicago fans. Teeth clenched, hands thrust deep into his overcoat pockets, he raced up and down the field, bellowing at his players, badgering officials, blatantly coaching from the sidelines. Trying to lend moral assistance to a Bear field-goal attempt, he once booted a 240-lb. guard right off the bench. Another time, he curtly ordered a rookie: "Taylor, we've run out of timeouts. Go in and get hurt...
