	United States of America, Appellee, v. Raymond H. Flynn, Appellant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Flynn argues that his motion for judgment of acquittal should have been granted by the district court because the evidence against him on the RICO counts did not support the jury's verdict.
		Flynn also argues that the co-conspirators' statements were not made in furtherance [*1055] of the conspiracy as required by Fed. R.
		Flynn argued that, of some 750 hours of tape-recorded conversations intercepted by the Government, only two conversations contained Flynn's voice and those two were totally unrelated to the crimes demonstrated by the evidence.

		Flynn courageously countered the blistering and vicious attacks against opponents of busing, mainly coming from elitist leftists, by accurately phrasing the issue as not one of race but of a dictatorial federal and judicial interference in an issue that should have been equitably addressed locally.
		Flynn went on from this first scrape with the elite left to beat all the odds when he was elected Mayor of Boston.
		Flynn could appeal to both socially conservative lunch bucket Democrats who don't relate to the social agenda of the left wing of the party and to suburbanites who are leery of government interference and social engineering.

	Ray Flynn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Flynn pulled off the extraordinary feat of drawing two reprimands from the State Department, one for criticizing congressional Republicans and another for shoddy ethics: Flynn used City Hall campaign funds to pay expenses he'd incurred as ambassador, and he had an embassy aide handle his family finances.
		Flynn has refused to embrace a bill extending health care benefits to same-sex "domestic partners" of Boston city employees, which is supported by the city council, Boston mayor Tom Menino, and the state legislature.
		Flynn might argue that he needn't pass dozens of laws, that he could simply serve as a defender of the disenfranchised, as a voice for economic populism.

		RAYMOND FLYNN: Well, see, I don't really believe-- and I've studied this and looked at this carefully, and I might be wrong-- but I don't really believe that Cardinal Law in Boston did anything intentionally to put children, innocent children, in harm's way.
		RAYMOND FLYNN: It's a very painful period of time, Gwen, and I think people are oblivious to the situation in terms of the "what to do." They want to have faith in the teaching of Jesus Christ and their Church and have that confidence, so there's no crisis of faith.
		RAYMOND FLYNN: No. I think in this particular case, the Catholic laity have been empowered and mobilized as they never have before, and I think they feel that finally they're going to be given a seat at the table.

	"Flynn Again Rejects Condom Ordinance"
		Flynn, in a veto message filed on Friday, based his opposition to the legislation on a range of legal and policy issues.
		Flynn also said that he does not feel that enlisting city government in an attempt to distribute condoms more widely will reduce the spread of HIV.
		Scondras argued that Flynn's free speech argument is "grasping at straws," and added that he believes the mayor vetoed the measure because "he's uncomfortable with the issue of condoms and sex." Similar legislation sponsored by Scondras was adopted by the Council and vetoed by Flynn previously this year.

		You can’t change them,” former Boston Mayor Raymond L. Flynn, who was President Bill Clinton’s ambassador to the Vatican from 1993 to 1997, said in an interview three days after he published a full-page advertisment in The New York Times criticizing Kerry for imposing what he called a “litmus test” on potential judicial nominees.
		Flynn pointed to one potential judicial candidate — Mary Ann Glendon, a professor at Harvard Law School — as someone who “should be serving on the Supreme Court if that’s what she wants.
		Flynn stressed that he was endorsing neither candidate for president and that his letter should not be seen as a statement of support for Bush.

	Talking Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		At root, both Flynn, the lunch-bucket populist, and Moore, the swashbuckling Republican novelist, exemplify a mix of outspokenness and Old World honor that was rare during the presidency of Bill Clinton.
		Flynn is old Boston, a creature of the old Democratic machine politics that brought families a plump turkey on Thanksgiving.
		It came naturally to Flynn, who as a state legislator represented the kind of ethnic blue-collar Democrats who favored the Vietnam War, to work with a person who is in some quarters viewed as an emblem of that unpopular conflict.

		Flynn's highly partisan statement was a clear breach of the standards which govern the American diplomatic corps, and stipulate that an active ambassador should not become embroiled in domestic political debates.
		In that letter Flynn had denounced the Republican majority on Capitol Hill, and argued that their plans for budget cuts were at variance with public statements made by Pope John Paul during his trip to the United States last year.
		Flynn had paid all of his family's bills-- including more than $300,000 for his childrens' tuition at private schools-- in cash; during his years as mayor, he never opened a checking account.

		RAYMOND L. Flynn, the former Boston mayor and former ambassador to the Vatican, is walking a fine line between church and state and the presidential campaigns of John Kerry and George W. Bush.
		Flynn is traveling around the country telling Roman Catholics they have a moral obligation to vote -- and a moral obligation to support candidates whose views reflect church teachings on abortion, same-sex marriage, and embryonic research, among other things.
		He says Flynn goes "where he is invited," and his visits outside Massachusetts are "not orchestrated" or planned with any regard to the campaign.

		Flynn, in an ad spreading across nearly an entire page of The New York Times, chided Kerry for insisting that, if elected president, he would appoint only people who support abortion rights to be justices on the Supreme Court.
		Flynn's letter came two days after Kerry aides conceded the Democratic presidential nominee struggled when asked, during his debate Friday with President Bush, whether he would ban spending federal funds on abortion.
		In one sign of the enduring relationship, the senator personally insisted that his staff invite Flynn and his family to be his guests at the Democratic National Convention last July in Boston.

	Ray Flynn Salutes Activists of Mass. 'America First Party'
		Flynn, who is a former Mayor of Boston and Ambassador to the Vatican, said people might not choose to be guided by the moral voice of religious leaders, but nevertheless, it is important to be able to hear that viewpoint.
		When Flynn was growing up, he would hear people say that if the Archbishop of Boston stood at the pulpit and said birth control was wrong or abortion was wrong, there wouldn't be a politician in the community that could possibly go against him.
		Flynn said his hometown newspaper, the Globe, does not want to hear his viewpoint because it differs from their editorial position.

	[No title]
		Flynn is respected by his peers--he serves as president of the United States Conference of Mayors--and is so popular with voters that he was mentioned as a vice-presidential candidate, only to be routinely dismissed in the media because he is forthtightly profile on abortion--a stance that has become an absolute no-no for the Democrats.
		One of the most persistent critics of the Bush administration, Flynn holds positions on poverty, immigration, welfare reform, health care, and housing that are precise political expressions of Catholic social teaching as applied to the American condition by the U.S. Catholic bishops (see, "Operation 'Domestic Order,'" Raymond L. Flynn, Commonweal, April 19, 1991).
		Flynn's popularity is not the only evidence challenging the conventional wisdom of Massachusetts pundits, who hold that the state is so solidly prochoice that anyone not committed to abortion on demand is unelectable.

		It's been 20 years since Flynn, drawing on his time as state representative and city councillor and a populist appeal, was elected mayor.
		Flynn takes to this idea, proud of his rapport with constituents, and knocks the sitting mayor for not communing with "the people" enough.
		City Councillor Charles Yancey, elected to the council the same year Flynn became mayor, agrees that integration was a hallmark of the Flynn administration, but faults Flynn for creating a school committee by appointment, and for the racially-charged handling of the Charles Stuart case.

		FLYNN: Well, I think a number of people, both victims and people on the Church side are very troubled by this situation, no matter how despicable the allegations of the crimes of John Geoghan had been involved in, nobody deserves to meet this kind of violent murder in a state-run prison.
		FLYNN: Well, the fact is that the reputations of -- even good, faithful loyal priests that we have in Boston, the Archdiocese of Boston, who have not been involved in anything are really embarrassed.
		FLYNN: Well, he was serving a six year sentence in prison right now and of course there were other cases that were -- charges that were brought against him, two other trials that would have come forward.
