Youthful Munchausen at Waldorf Astoria

The tearing down of Irish flags from monuments in St Pauls Churchyard provokes the Irish Society of New York to seek an injunction against the Trinity Corporation. The society claims the monuments belong to the public, not the church, and may sue for flag damages while awaiting legal guidance.
