World AIDS Day observance at St Catherine's Church draws crowd
More than 250 attend World AIDS Day prayers at St Catherine of Siena Church, with teens from Greenwich High's TAAD group and the AIDS Alliance of Greenwich organizing. Attendees hear a song-dance performance about a young woman with AIDS and discuss awareness funding. The event, plus a school assembly sold out quickly, highlighted youth involvement and community support in Greenwich.

Greenwich yearbook racism debate questioned by CORE chief
Roy Innis national chairman of CORE says the Greenwich High School yearbook incident is not one of the country’s most serious racial events. He describes the five youths’ act as a trivial eruption and urges civil rights program exposure for them. Mothers of some youths attend, while Innis cites racial addiction and postwar syndromes as causes of racism and urges broader town cooperation. He hints at preventing further incidents if invited to speak to students. Continued on page 26.
