Mascagni's one flash came when he was 26. A prize was offered for a one-act opera and the impoverished teacher, tired of a macaroni diet, worked at white heat for eight days and nights until he had completed Cavalleria Rusticana.

Fresh water was taken aboard so the Maiotis could sail that afternoon...
...Equitable Life Assurance Society of Manhattan sold a 10,000-ruble, 20-year endowment policy to Nisson Goldberg Rudkowsky, wealthy St. Petersburg macaroni-maker. Two years ago White Russian Rudkowsky, now in Manhattan, brought suit to claim the paid-in value of his policy.
