All five U.S. cardinals and 350 bishops overflowed Rome's little Church of Santa Susanna for Bishop Burke's Requiem Mass, marking the first death among the 2,540 prelates at the council...

When Corinth does a watercolor like The Beautiful Imperia, a loose wash of lucid color, he arrives at a quality which most of his Teutonic contemporaries generally lack--a naive loveliness, (the word used wholly in complimentary fashion.).
