...nearly two years I have listened on the radio to Rev. Gomes’s sermons each Sunday at Memorial Church and have often admired them. In the last month he has not spoken on this subject from his pulpit, I believe; nor has he expressed his views in The Crimson, except for a brief visit to the protesters to deliver his greetings and a call for a peaceful resolution on April...
...Last month, after running the Boston Marathon, Kunz, 45, a nurse from Chandler, Ariz., and French, 42, a graduate student, made a symbolic pilgrimage to Vermont to wed each other.

In 1977, after becoming the first black director on the General Motors board, he framed the Sullivan Principles, a code for U.S. companies operating in South Africa outlining how they could desegregate workplaces and promote fair treatment of black employees. At age 10, Sullivan was booted from a Charleston, W.Va., drugstore counter while drinking a soda, an incident that inspired him as an adult to organize boycotts of racist companies. In 1964, he founded...
