The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision banning daily moments of silence that allow voluntary prayer is hailed by civil libertarians as a victory to keep religion out of public schools and denounced by religious conservatives as an attack on the nation’s faith. Lawmakers pledge hearings on a proposed school prayer amendment while White House and civil liberties groups react.

Airlines ride May gains amid United pilots strike
May traffic rose at six major carriers as United operated a fraction of its flights amid a 5 000 pilot walkout now in its 20th day. United carried 2.3 million passengers in May, down from 3.4 million a year earlier, but year to date still edged higher than 1984. Continental reported a large May jump while Midway Metrolink and Ex systems reached a May record, as rival lines benefited from the stoppage.
