...vases, part of an enormous floral display. "We postponed our retirement," said Mary Kay. "We were supposed to move to San Diego the first of October, but when we heard the Pope was coming we stayed." To decorate the altar platform, 15 Wisconsin volunteers staged a two-week quilting bee to stitch together a 10-ft. square banner done in burnt orange, sky blue and leafy green...

When he sang along spontaneously with the Sacrosong singers, the Pope's voice was captured on a master tape that MCA obtained. Rock stations last week were playing the Pope in the company of the Bee Gees and Led Zeppelin. John Paul will get nothing from the sales; his share of the take will go to charities.

If some city folk regard that as a minor nuisance, they are sadly mistaken. Loss of the bees and the honey they produce (a $125 million-a-year industry) is not the only danger. More than 50 different crops grown in the U.S. depend on bees for pollination. Alfalfa alone requires two or three hives per acre. Bees also play a pivotal role in such favorites as almonds, apples, squash, melons, cherries...
