Complained Boston Plaintiff Bill Baird: "What do you think would happen if the Ayatullah Khomeini were coming to Boston Common to conduct a Muslim service? Do you think there would be a rush to provide $2 million in public funds for that...

The so-called guides--selected on the basis of a brief application form--were let loose in September with only a pep talk from Kyriazi. Although the SHS charter empowers the board to "conduct ongoing evaluations of the program" and to dismiss guides who fail to "perform required duties," board members never checked up on the guides until January. "By the time we realized that we had done something wrong, it was too late," Mark J. Shlomchik '81, treasurer of SHS last year, admitted...
