Died. Paul J. Hallinan, 56, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta, one of the South's foremost advocates of social and religious liberalism; of acute hepatitis; in Atlanta. Hallinan's first act after his appointment in 1962 was to order desegregation of schools and other Catholic institutions under his jurisdiction; in 1965, he sent priests and nuns to the Selma, Ala., civil rights march, and earlier this month he bluntly advised Atlanta's citizens to open their neighborhoods "so Negroes can exercise the right of every American to live where he wishes...
...supporters had solicited and received backing from Catholic theologians and seminarians across the U.S. As the pressure intensified, Baltimore's Lawrence Cardinal Shehan, a member of C.U.'s board, declared that Curran should be "restored to his former status." Atlanta's Arch bishop Paul J. Hallinan, another board member, let it be known that he had opposed Curran's ouster. Boston's Richard Cardinal Gushing announced that he would not condemn Curran. "He must teach all sides. It makes no sense to appoint people to a university board who know absolutely nothing about running...
...criminal conviction is insufficient; examiners must weigh "the nature of the offense." The high court noted that since 1963, "petitioner has repudiated the use of force as a political principle."

Even as a teenager, Terence Hallinan was quite a handful. Perhaps he got it from his father, Vincent Hallinan, the fiery San Francisco lawyer who has served at least three jail sentences, including one for contempt (arising from his defense of Harry Bridges) during which he ran for President on the 1952 Progressive Party ticket. Perhaps it all started with a beating that three Marines once gave one of his brothers because he opposed the Korean War. When that happened, Vincent gave his sons boxing lessons. "If you're going to hold radical opinions," he said, "you have...
Terence soon became known as "Kayo" Hallinan. After tangling with three sailors in 1954, he was made a ward of the juvenile court. After clobbering a ski-lodge proprietor in 1955, he received a suspended three-month sentence. Tried for another assault in 1957, he got a hung jury, settled a damage suit by paying his alleged victim $5,000. Even after he entered San Francisco's Hastings College of Law in 1961, Terence had at least three fights, one of them a melee growing out of a bare-knuckles duel between his brother and another law student...
