Thomas Arnold '80, Jefferey Ferris '77 and Geoffrey Wisner '80 have all declined to post the required 100 bail to obtain release from the armory, pending a ruling on a petition filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Concord...
Pope John XXIII opened the way to a reunification of Anglicans and Catholics when he invited the Archbishop of Canterbury, then Geoffrey Fisher, to Rome in 1960.
