Parochial Aid Plan Signed to Aid Nonpublic Schools
Governor Brendan Byrne signed a pair of bills to fund private and parochial schools in New Jersey, totaling 4.5 million dollars for disbursements and 15 million in the budget. One measure sends 3.9 million to local boards for textbook purchases at 15 dollars per student, while another expands bus transportation aid.

Sikkim Transitions From Absolute Rule to Modern Protectorate
National Geographic recounts Sikkim’s shift from 432 years of monarchic power under Chogyal Namgyal to a constitutional, India-administered protectorate after 1973 protests. It notes India's defense and foreign affairs control, the king as figurehead, and the enduring cultural reverence in the Himalayas amid border tensions with China and Nepal. Descriptions highlight Sikkim's rich flora, including 400 orchid varieties, and historic Kanchenjunga ascent conditions. Desmond Doig’s reflections on a spiritual landscape contrast with a more practical, post-monarchy reality.
