Despite the disagreements that led them into divorce court in the first place, the New Jersey couple were agreed on at least one point: since they were both Jews, they wanted their two children raised as Jews. Nor was there much question about custody. As usual, it went to the mother. But when the mother married a Protestant and moved to Idaho, the children's father sued to have custody reassigned...
What, in art, is real? The question is as old as Plato and as new as the Museum of Modern Art's summer spectacular, called "The Art of the Real."

...five-year-old experimental college is an example of liberty turned to license. Unquestionably, it is a troubled school. In April, the trustees demanded and got the resignation of President Richard Ruopp. Last month 19 of Franconia's 41 faculty and staff members handed in their resignations. The question now is how long Franconia can keep its doors open...
