Over the past 5 years the scientific study of adolescence has continued to grow in volume and sophistication. Drawing on recent articles published in the Journal of Research on Adolescence, I take this opportunity to comment on some common understandings about the nature of adolescent development and behavior, recurrent tensions in the research, and promising directions or special challenges for future investigations. The journal also has changed in significant ways over this period, thanks to the outstanding contributions of scholars and journal/publisher support staff. This editorial pays homage to their efforts.

A far-reaching debate concerning the proper relation between Church & State in France has been occasioned, since the Liberation, almost entirely by the need on the part of religious Sch's for financial aid from the State. Participation of lay & religious org's in the 1951 electoral campaign constitutes probably the most important electioneering on the part of pressure groups to date under the Fourth Republic. In September 1951 the National Assembly finally created a fund to assist parents in educating their children in both public & religious Sch's (the Loi Barang4). The lay forces have pledged an unremitting struggle to repeal this law. The issue of State aid to private Sch's, in driving apart the SFIO & MRP, renders exceptionally difficult a lasting union on the part of the democratic Left, & contributes greatly to cabinet instability.
