Imagine Atheist Florey's dismay, two years ago, when he walked into the holiday assembly program in the Hayward Elementary School in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., and found youngsters, including his kindergarten-age son Justin, giving out with O Come All Ye Faithful and Silent Night. Then a teacher quizzed them on the religious theme. "They had just gone overboard," Florey recalls. The result is the first federal court test of whether performance of religious Christmas music, a perennial issue in many cities, should be banished from public schools on grounds of church-state separation...
Drawing parallels between Ted Bundy--a Floridian accused of murdering 26 women and whose folk hero status is celebrated in T-shirts and songs--and Ted Kennedy, who Morgan says has not yet offered a sufficient explanation of Mary Jo Kopechne's death at Chappaquiddick, Morgan warned, "Trust not ye the right or the left on any issue in which women's lives are at stake...

...Shaoqi (Liu Shao-chi), the former Chinese head of state who was Mao's main rival in the power struggle of the early 1960s and who reportedly died in disgrace in 1969. There were signs that his escutcheon might soon be refurbished. In his speech Ye paid Liu an indirect compliment by mentioning the "great importance" of a party congress that had been dominated by Liu. More dramatic was the sudden re-emergence of Liu in a huge new painting depicting the leaders who had assembled with Mao-and Ye-for the proclamation of the People's Republic...
