...eyes clouded when she talked about the funeral in Beijing for the three Chinese killed in the embassy attack. Her words became bruised, accusatory. I asked, "Do you really believe the Americans did it deliberately?" "Absolutely!" she said. "Makes no sense," I replied. "Why would we do such a thing?" "Ah," she said, "there had to be a deeper reason: CIA out to subvert..." Her line of conspiratorial inference trailed off. "Possibly," I allowed. "But more likely the reason was stupidity.

To her, today's perky folk-guitar Masses are more grating than groovy. "Catholics of my generation are starved for the real thing," she says.
