moved so far to give the vouch-

Jeff Stier of the Jewish Policy
Center, a D.C.-based think tank
for Jewish Republicans, takes
Rabbi Freedman's argument one
step further. "Opponents of
[vouchers] have been saying all
along that under no circum-
stances can government money
flow to religious schools," he said:
"[The Agostini] decision proved
them wrong. What the court said
was that government money can
under some circumstances flow
to religious schools as long as it's
the result of parents' choices."
But opponents of vouchers
point out that the Agostini deci-
sion did not directly address the
issue of vouchers.
"I've read the Agostini opinion,
and I don't see a great deal of lan-
guage in this opinion which gives

Life as well."
In the euphoria of the mo-
ment, he made a duplicate neg-
ative of the three paratroopers
and handed it over. He could
have kept it for himself. The
Government Press Office dis-
tributed prints to all corners for
two Israeli pounds (then about
half a dollar). The wire services
put it out as their own. So, by-
lines and all, did some
unscrupulous fellow
snappers.
Mr. Rubinger final-
ly reasserted his copy-

cigarette company re-
produced it in an ad.
Thirty years later,
he admits he's grateful

only in Life," he muses,
"it would have been
forgotten long ago."
