...first PIA flight, described the New China as "a land of spacious loveliness cultivated down to the last inch, crisscrossed with power lines."

Some Like It Dirty. Inevitably, the big cleanup has divided Paris into two camps: black and white. At the start, white was a dirty word, particularly since Montmartre's white Sacré-Coeur basilica has long been regarded as a bulbous eyesore.

A few days later, on the 50th anniversary of Padre Pio's ordination, congratulations came from all over the world, including a warm message from the Archbishop of Milan, Giovanni Battista Montini, a longtime friend. But from the Vatican came not a word. Instead, Maccari returned for a cleanup. Result: the trinket vendors drifted away, and the Spiritual Daughters were shorn of their powers. There were cries of "inquisitor," but Maccari had his way. Padre Pio was put under guard, and he soon found himself virtual prisoner in his own convent; his mail was opened and read...
