Died. Metropolitan Antony Bashir, 67, Archbishop of the 110,000-member Syrian Antiochian Orthodox Church of New York and North America, a vigorous anti-Communist who in 1958, while in Damascus for the election of a new Patriarch, exposed a Soviet plot to seat its own Communist-oriented candidate by bribing some delegates with cash, gifts and free trips to Moscow, then led the fight to elect non-Red Patriarch Theodosius VI; of cancer; in Boston...
