Ali's Case Still A Hot Item
Washington AP reports the Supreme Court closed the door on Catholics and others who oppose war under just war doctrine but leaves open Muhammad Ali's draft appeal. Ali argues Islam forbids participation in any war without Allah's blessing, while the Justice Department argues against a general conscientious objector status.
