...problem is that New York's esteemed mayor has gone mad. Like a bloodhound let loose in a meat factory, Giuliani has quite simply lost his focus. His deadly attention used to be focused on hardened criminals. Gang members and cocaine dealers suffered in the first years of Giuliani's tenure as Mayor.

But when a similar prayer is broadcast from the bleachers of a public high school football game, fallout becomes more likely - even in football-mad, religiously conservative Texas. Witness the events of 1995 in Santa Fe, Texas: The families of two students at the local high school filed suit against the district, claiming the pregame prayers blaring out of the school's public address system violated the First Amendment by "creating a pervasive religious atmosphere."
