Two Catholics Fast in Protest at St Josephs Cathedral
Kathy Sullivan and James Wilson, both young pacifists, began a sit in and fast at St Josephs Cathedral Manchester to protest perceived lack of freedom in the Roman Catholic Church. They described willingness to die, have eaten little since Friday, and cited discipline of priests Mullaney Berrigan and O Brien, while a diocese spokesman noted the protest occurred inside a church.

Virginia mayors weigh state sales tax plan response

Virginia leaders, including Gov elect Mills Godwin Jr, show sympathy for enacting a tax, but local distribution details remain unsettled. Mayors from Hampton Roads oppose ceding local tax authority, while smaller towns show less firm opposition. The Virginia Municipal League committee plans a formal report after full approval.
