...occupied off and on since 1928. But soon he is up again and leaning over the news desk. "Anything big?" he asks, a question he repeats before every edition. By early afternoon, the basement presses roll out a newspaper that in Cowgill, Humansville, Farmersville, Fair Play, Peculiar, Knob Noster, Kansas City, and several hundred other Missouri-Kansas communities is familiar, reassuring-and powerful...
...years ago Stravinsky, who has written a Pater Noster, a Credo, an Ave Maria and a Mass, enthusiastically accepted a commission to compose Passion music for Venice's patron saint-at a rumored fee of $12,000. (A member of the Russian Orthodox faith, Stravinsky is very religious, but rarely goes to church in Los Angeles, where he lives, because "the singing is something terrible.") After struggling with the assignment, he turned up not with a Passion but with his Canticum-and it took a mere 17 minutes to perform. When officials protested, he replied that he could have...

Hilarem appellamus), et cius alter, Shillius Homo (qui solus intellegit uti miser sit homo qui amat), et Norris noster nobilis (qui verba blanda pro auro et dicta docta prodatis pracbet). Nec quidem vos estis mihi practereundac, o amatrices dicaculae et sagaces, tu, M. Paludis Filum et tu, o matre forti filia fortior, M. Tabum; nec tu, dura Dersofia; nec vos, o nymphae graciles, meae Mariac ambae; nec denique tu, o vox aurea cuius nomen barbarum Latin...
...World War II. After a long, wily fight, his strategy paid off. He signed a concordat with the Vatican, a great gain for the church. (Last week Spain's Cardinal Primate decreed that all priests in Spain must, during each Mass, invoke God's blessing on Dux Noster Franciscus, Our Leader Francisco.) He signed a treaty with the U.S. for American bases on Spanish soil, a tremendous boost for the army...
