...morally right and proper for a state to assist children in getting an education. It is morally wrong and improper for a state to insist that in getting that aid the children must submit to an unreligious education. The solution will be to extend the aid to the parents directly, so that they may place their children in such schools as they deem proper. Free choice in education is the essence of the G.I. plan; the Government gives the assistance, but does not require the recipient to attend a Government school. Why should state educational assistance differ? ANTHONY W. DALY...
...TIME, Nov. 23, you state: "In U.S. hospitals, occupational therapy is usually make-work and little better than leaf raking." Correction, please.

To Loveless, the whole election turned on one big question. "Ezra Benson is the only issue in the campaign," he cried. "Benson is Republicanism...
Whenever Nelson Rockefeller hits the road to campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Vice President Richard Nixon, his archrival, invariably drops a barbed headline. During Rocky's Western tour the announcement was made, with exquisite timing, of the formation in Rocky's own New York State of a Nixon Club, with many of President Eisenhower's closest friends as members. Last week, with Rocky in the Midwest, Nixon did it again. At a big Washington Christmas party given by the Nixons, New York Lawyer Thomas E. Dewey, a surprise guest, turned up jauntily, mingled with the high...
