<p> DIED. BISHOP JOSEPH DURICK, 79, clergyman; in Bessemer, Alabama.
At 40, Durick was one of the youngest bishops in the country
when, in 1955, he was appointed to the Mobile-Birmingham diocese.
During the '60s Durick became one of the region's most outspoken
supporters of civil rights for black Southerners, inspired by
the social concerns of Pope John XXIII's Vatican II reforms
and the crusade of Martin Luther King. Durick at one time implored
King to abandon his confrontational style. The minister's response
was the stirring "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
