...trying out a U. S. pope in full knowledge that even a fiasco would make little difference in the Church's long history. In disregard of the fact that comparatively young, vigorous cardinals are most papabile, the U. S. candidate was supposed to be New York's frail, 69-year-old Patrick Cardinal Hayes...

...singing was so warm and rich, her dramatic sense so keen, that the audience called her before the curtain time after time. Later she sang Ponchielli's La Gioconda, Bellini's Norma, Leonora in Verdi's Il Trovatore. Though Cigna has a frail lower voice and occasionally forces notes, she sang these ornate roles with brilliance and spirit.

From an awkward, frail girl, visibly awed by the new world into which fate had thrust her, she became the purveyor of calculated glamour, icy and generous by turns, distant, temperamental, mysterious. Part of this was the result of coaching by von Sternberg, part of it the changes in her own ego wrought by the amazing publicity campaign organized for her by Paramount. Before Morocco, her next picture, was released Hollywood gazed astonished...

Another figure spotlighted at the Pittsburgh meeting, which 3,000-odd chemists attended, was not a chemist at all but an old and frail man of high finance, diplomacy and government: Andrew William Mellon.
