...Government Is Neutral." At least 30 states either require or authorize Bible readings in public schools; for about half of all the schoolchildren in the U.S., the school day begins with religious exercises that include Bible verses or the Lord's Prayer or both. Among those who will not be affected by the ruling are the children on whose behalf Mr. and Mrs. Schempp brought their suit: the two youngsters were graduated from Abington Senior High School, near Philadelphia, a few days before the court handed down its decision...
...Kennedy took his major critics to lunch. He tactfully refrained from telling his home state that Old Ironsides belongs to the whole U.S., even though she has been a historic shrine in Boston Harbor since 1909. Her renovation in the late '20s was aided by the pennies of schoolchildren across the nation, and the U.S. Navy has since manned and maintained her at an annual cost of about $35,000. But he did wield a secret weapon: his older brother's personal interest in moving the 165-year-old vessel...
...King began secretly recruiting volunteers just before last Christmas. King and Connor clashed headon.

An injured, maimed or dead child is a price that none of us can afford...
...past through Red Square. He even sported a blue beret, which seemed increasingly confining as, for five solid hours, under a warm spring sun, he stood at Khrushchev's side on the rampart over Lenin's tomb. It went on and on; 250,000 athletes, workers and schoolchildren paraded by. Only during the ten-minute parade of familiar military hardware, featuring medium-range (500 to 700 miles) missiles of the type Moscow had tried to put in Cuba, did Fidel look interested. U.S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler missed the fun, remaining at home in Spaso House to watch...
