...serious, even desperate financial trouble. In Milwaukee this month, the Catholic office of education announced that 18 schools in the ten-county archdiocese will close this year for lack of funds. In Detroit, eight schools have already announced closing, and 42 others have been told that they must decide between consolidation and shutting down. In Philadelphia, the Catholic school system has mounted a mammoth fund-raising drive to head off a possible $10 million deficit next year. In at least half a dozen states, parochial-school lobbies are badgering their state legislatures for some kind of immediate help...
...schools are to survive, money must come from somewhere else-which means federal or state aid. Last year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Board of Education v. Allen that states could supply textbooks for purely secular subjects (science, mathematics, language) to nonpublic schools, and parochial-school educators hope that the decision eventually may be expanded to allow public aid to parochial-school students for other costs, such as faculty and plant, as well. This approach, based on the rationale of "child benefit," is now being considered by several states...

To achieve that pervasive cliché, a "meaningful summer," the applicant must raise his sights-help an archaeologist dig up Mayan tombs, perhaps, or watch some surgeon transplant hearts...
Some babies born with severe internal malformations have hernias that must be corrected surgically to save life. Surgery may also be required for adult victims of chest injuries in which the diaphragm is torn. The question before the surgeons in Boston was to decide when surgery is indicated for the vast majority of in-between patients whose hernias result from a slight innate weakness. The answer depends largely on how successful the surgery will...
Until Pope Pius XII fell ill in 1954, few people had ever heard of hiatal hernia and fewer knew what it was, although surprisingly many must have suffered from it. Nowadays the diagnosis is being made with startling frequency-in 10% to 12% of all patients who have X rays of the upper digestive tract. But is the condition more common than formerly? Probably not, said Harvard's Dr. Herbert D. Adams at a regional meeting of the American College of Surgeons in Boston. The explanation, he suggested, is that the X rays are now being read with greater...
