Daniel Berrigan, R. I. P.

Activist priest and Vietnam war protester Daniel Berrigan dies at 94: Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest and peace activist, passed away on Saturday, reports James Martin, SJ, editor-at-large of the Jesuit magazine, America.  

I always thought of him when I heard Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard":  "When the radical priest came to get me released we was all on the cover of Newsweek."
