...added constitutional justification, the law was drafted to apply to all non-public schools. The ironic result is that some well-off private schools are now getting support. Because of their higher instructional costs and all-secular staffs, their share of public funds is often higher than that of parochial schools. For example, the Baldwin School, a prosperous private institution in Bryn Mawr, receives $102.68 per pupil, while the average parish and diocesan school gets only...
...welfare but to save parochial schools.

Constitutionally, such subsidizing of a religious enterprise is not essentially different from a payment of public funds into the treasury of a church."

The American people are angered and frustrated by inflation, and the polls show that an overwhelming majority criticize Nixon's handling of the persistent problem. Moreover, Nixon believes that he must stabilize the economy before the nation can effectively marshal the resources to carry through the social and environmental programs for which so many voters are clamoring...
