And the peace activist and educator Jerry Berrigan has died at home in Syracuse, New York, at the age of 95. The brother of fellow activists Daniel Berrigan and the late Philip Berrigan, Jerry Berrigan helped open a refuge for homeless men and was a regular at protests against Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, where overseas drones are piloted remotely. After his death Sunday, Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner ordered flags outside City Hall lowered to half-staff in his honor.
