...Monsignor Hickey, also the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Boston, will be replaced by the Rev. Joseph I. Collins, who will take over his parish duties. Farther Collins, advisor to the Harvard-Radcliffe Catholic Society, will assume the title of administrator...
...Wamba, where rebel Simbas were known to be holding some 250 white hostages. Last week the mercenaries finally made it to Wamba, and what they found confirmed their worst fears.
