...retirement, Sibelius never moved far from his house, wrapped himself in cigar smoke and in music (he liked to listen to concerts from all over the world on a powerful short-wave set). Said he wistfully of jazz: "If I were only younger!" Of cowboy ballads: "They never get grey hair, do they?" He was said to have composed steadily, but nobody was able to discover just what the music was like.

Cookies & Assurance. Mother Veronica's stand was cheered through all of San Marino (pop. 13,000). Parents climbed up to the grey stone convent atop a 900-ft. cliff to pledge support through the double iron grille in the visitors' room, received in turn a whispered assurance, plus the traditional cookies and convent-made bubbly white wine. Firm backing for Mother Veronica's defiant ways came from her bishop, who specifically ordered her to keep the school open, exhorted all Catholics to "support the sisters in their struggle...
