...uncovered some evidence that the composer's great-grandfather was a Scot named Izett-a handy connection, as Lucia is laid in Scotland. ¶ Why did Puccini change the church in Tosca? In the original play, La Tosca, by Yictorien Sardou, it was Rome's Sant' Andrea al Quirinale, an edifice still set amid open spaces through which the revolutionary Angelotti could have escaped; in the opera, Puccini's church (Sant' Andrea della Valle) is in a thickly built-up part of Rome, where the escape seems less likely. So far, nobody has found...
...women's giant slalom, the crisp and speedy skill that won at Oslo for U.S. Housewife Andrea Mead Lawrence was scarcely in evidence. Andy Lawrence wound up in a tie for fourth. Gold medal winner: Germany's chubby Ossi Reichert. CJ Finnish Forest Ranger Veikko Haku-linen won the 3O-kilometer (18 miles, 1,125 yards) cross-country skiing championship, finished in front of Sweden's Six-ten Jernberg and a strong Russian squad that took every place from third to sixth. By week's end unofficial team scores put Russia's first Winter Olympics...
...fight. Russian cross-country skiers looked unbeatable. Only in the Alpine events (downhill and slalom) did U.S. men seem to have a chance to pile up points.

One noon a presidential car rolled up before the residence of Bishop Miguel de Andrea, took him mysteriously off to the big house he founded for working girls. Inside, waiting at a table for a surprise luncheon with the bishop were President Aramburu and Vice President Isaac Rojas. The girls cheered. Liberal Bishop de Andrea is a popular opponent of the old-fogy Church clique that got along fine with Perón until he tried to curb their prerogatives; from the government...
...Long to Live. Staring coldly at Willie Bioff as he discoursed upon their activities was an imposing array of hoodlums: Gunman Paul ("The Waiter") de Lucia, Muscleman Phil ("The Squire") D'Andrea, beer-war alumnus Charles ("Cherry Nose") Gioe, Machine-Gunner Louis ("Little New York") Campagna, Frank ("The Immune") Maritote, alias Frankie Diamond. One man was not there, yet his shadow frowned large: Frank ("The Enforcer") Nitti, a successor to Al Capone, had committed suicide the day of the indictment. Duly, the directorate was convicted. It was felt that Willie did not have long to live. By making himself...
