...showers had laid a blanket of fresh, wet snow on top. To the casual eye, it was beautiful. But the beauty was lost on officials at the Institute for Snow Research and Avalanches in Davos. Tests indicated that the new snow was not binding with the old. And when warm weather followed last week, and the snow began to melt, the warning flashed out quickly: "Lawine [Avalanche...
...Benton was as crusty as ever. His paintings have never sold better, for which he gave a true realist's explanation: "Everybody figures they ought to go out and get a Benton now because the old codger is going to be out of production before long."

But from the Vatican came not a word. Instead, Maccari returned for a cleanup. Result: the trinket vendors drifted away, and the Spiritual Daughters were shorn of their powers. There were cries of "inquisitor," but Maccari had his way. Padre Pio was put under guard, and he soon found himself virtual prisoner in his own convent; his mail was opened and read...
