Judge Garrity predicts 420 buses, 7.6 million cost, and eight districts with magnet schools while critics urge appeal. Community leaders in South Boston condemn the plan as explosive and damaging to the city.

Women Priests Win New Hampshire Vote at Convention
In Laconia the Episcopal diocese of New Hampshire voted 129 to 53 to urge the national church to change Canon law and admit women to the priesthood. Eleven women were ordained last July in Philadelphia, provoking church tensions as the House of Bishops has yet to act. Minor clerical details indicate next year’s meeting in Minneapolis to decide the issue.
