Voice of the Faithful rallies for church governance reform
About 4,000 members from 35 states and seven countries gathered in Boston for Voice of the Faithful to petition Pope John Paul II and press for reforms giving lay Catholics more say in governance and bishop appointments. Leaders linked the priest abuse scandal to clerical power and urged action beyond financial support.

Utility fire knocks out N.Y. power
A transformer explosion at a lower Manhattan utility plant caused a mid day blackout affecting about 63,000 customers from 14th Street to the tip of Manhattan. The outage disrupted subway service, closed a stretch of Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive, and prompted National Guardsmen to assist police and traffic control. Power was largely restored by evening as crews assessed damage and began repairs.
