...work that goes on in these comfortable surroundings is earnestly pious, a work that to Mormons quite literally cuts across centuries. Some of it is for the living, like the sealing of marriages for "time and eternity" to ensure that husband and wife will remain together after death. More often, though, the work is for the dead.

"Vecchia zimarra, senti" the bass "Coat Song" from La Boheme...

They own a 25-room Fifth Avenue apartment in New York City, an estate on Foxhall Road hi Washington. D.C., and an 18,000-acre ranch in Venezuela. There are no firm figures on Rockefeller's cash income. But one estimate, made...
