A sometime Harvard student and socialist agitator was arrested in New York Saturday, and charged with disorderly conduct. Albert Maher '63, who plans to return in the fall as a junior, was one of 17 persons participating in a midtown rally protesting U.S. activities in Vietnam.
Friday, Maher posted a $10,000 bond to free William Epton, a professed Communist, charged with criminal anarchy.
The son of a Texas millionare, Maher says his political enlightenment began at the age of 15, when someone gave him a copy of Fidel Castro's speech, "History Will Absolve Me." Last summer he went to Cuba with a group of students in defiance of the State Department ban.
