NEW CANAAN, Conn. (AP) — Businessman and philanthropist Ted Stanley, who made one of the largest private donations for scientific research, has died, his son said Monday. He was 85.
Stanley died peacefully in his bed overnight at his home in New Canaan, son Jonathan Stanley said. No cause of death was provided.
(RNS) — Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is never shy about voicing his strong, and strongly conservative, opinions about the role of religion in American society, and he has once again made headlines with what he called a "sermon" in which he said the U.S. Constitution can favor religion over "nonreligion."
In fact, Scalia told a gathering at a Catholic high school near New Orleans on Saturday (Jan. 2), "one of the reasons God has been good to us is that we have done him honor."
