Mr. Pope gave it to Mr. Feild, his student and colleague. It seems particularly moving and fitting that this gentle artist and teacher with an independent and fighting spirit...
Half an hour later, about ten men and women were leafletting the Catholic Church. Ross supervised the group, wandering between the four entrances in his perennial white shirt and jeans. At 11 a.m. they entered the church to stand in silent protest. Stately golden arches loomed over the congregation. The walls were white and unadorned. The crucifix faced the worshippers. The service proceeded as usual...
