Bible Readings Decision Elicits Mild Reaction Across Nation
The Supreme Court banned required Bible readings and Lord s Prayer in public schools, a move met with relatively mild congressional response and swift state reviews. Justices emphasized neutrality and that Bible study remains allowed when presented objectively in secular education. The ruling also touched Florida and Maryland cases and tied to a separate unemployment case for a Seventh day Adventist.

Goldwater Backs Scranton as Favorite Son Candidate
Sen. Barry Goldwater endorses Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania as a potential favorite son for the 1964 Republican presidential nomination. Scranton says he is not a candidate but aims to keep Pennsylvania’s delegation united. Other governors named as possible favorites include Michigan’s George Romney and Ohio’s James A. Rhodes, with possible non-governor favorites in Wisconsin, Colorado, and California. The strategy could delay a frontrunner and force a contested convention.
