Story Time for Preschoolers at Flagler Beach Public Library, 11 to 11:30 a.m. at the library, 315 South Seventh Street, Flagler Beach. It’s where the wild things are: Hop on for stories and songs with Miss Doris.






Notably: A few days ago for a previous item in this space I pulled down Michael Korda’s Making The List, his always surprising 2001 book tabulating the previous century’s bestsellers year by year. As I was making my way to the 60s the 1950s gave me a start: In 1952, 1953 and 1954, three years in a row, the number one non-fiction bestseller for the entire year was… The Holy Bible Standard Version Revised. And in second place in 1953, 1954 and 1955, also the same book: Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking. Those were the years when “under God” made it into the Pledge of Allegiance (1954), the year Martin Luther King Jr. began his career as a preacher, the year Ellis Island closed to immigrants and two years after the detonation of the first hydrogen bomb. Then again, the third-highest selling non-fiction book in 1953? Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, the Alfred Kinsey book everyone hid under their pillow until Portnoy.

The furor over school prayer is a good case in point. If anything is unconstitutional, it is government encouragement to pray in the public schools. Moreover, the proposed constitutional amendment to allow voluntary prayer is offensive on two counts. First, it violates explicitly the intended secular base of the Constitution. And far worse, it encourages the political use of religion in a way that allows elected officials to evade their real responsibilities and to claim for themselves a moral high ground that they too often have done nothing to earn. Is it any wonder that many politicians love to talk about school prayer just as they like to talk about flag desecration? School prayer is a perfect example of symbolic pol-itics. To propose it can arouse loud cheering, but it will solve not one of the social problems of the ghetto, and most especially not the problem of guns in the schools.

—From Isaac Kramnick’s and R. Laurence Moore’s The Godless Constitution: The Case Against Religious Correctness (1996).
