AMA says poppy crop program strains US painkiller supply
A draft AMA report warned that paying Turkish farmers not to grow opium poppies is reducing opium available in the United States.

Supreme Court Rules Against Parochial School Aid Plans
The Supreme Court ruled that state tax credits tuition reimbursements and maintenance payments to support parochial schools violate the First Amendment. The decisions, affecting Pennsylvania and New York programs, hold that direct tuition reimbursements to sectarian schools or payments to parents remain unconstitutional even when not sent to the schools.
