Bomb injures 40 in Belfast amid sectarian clashes

A large bomb in north Belfast exploded injuring at least 40 as sectarian tensions flare. The device contained about 150 pounds of gelignite and was left in a parked car in the Protestant dominated border area. Clashes continued between troops, Loyalist groups, and Catholic residents around the Bogside and Ballymurphy districts. A teen boy and girl were shot near a Catholic school, the girl critically hurt.

Vandal attacks Michelangelo Pieta in St. Peter's Basilica

A Hungarian-born Australian, Laslo Toth, aged 33, shouted I am God and I am Michelangelo as he battered the Pieta with a 12-pound hammer in St. Peter's Basilica. Vatican engineers expect most damage repairable, Pope Paul VI oversee prayers, and authorities charged Toth with damaging artworks and offending religion. The attack left the Virgin Mary figure broken with missing arm and damaged face. Christ's figure remained intact. Also noted Dame Margaret Rutherford's death at 80 in London. A jazz program at Drury College in Springfield will host Stan Kenton Jazz Orchestra in Residence from June 11 to 17 with 40 faculty and multiple ensembles.
