NOTE:

On October 22, 1991 the Seventh Circuit granted the Ottawa Jaycees' petition for rehearing en banc in the case of Doe v. Small, discussed in last month's issue of The Review. ("Holiday Displays: Is Your Municipality Violating The Establishment Clause.") Thus, the Seventh Circuit's opinion of May 28, 1991 is vacated and the appellate process will begin anew. You will be advised of any further significant developments in this litigation. •
