John Walker's brother Arthur, a former Navy lieutenant commander, has been sentenced to three life terms (parole eligibility: ten years). John and his son Michael are to be sentenced soon. Under terms of a plea bargain that they struck in return for providing information, John is due to get life (parole eligibility: ten years), and Michael 25 years (parole eligibility: eight years and four months).

As many colleges and cities--includingBoston and Cambridge--have already divested,"leadership is no longer up to us; at most, we canhope not to be the very last to pull out of SouthAfrica," Mendelsohn said...
