Cardinal Hickey Laid to Rest

Story from the Washington Post

Bishop William E. Lori, who was one of Hickey's top aides for more than 18 years, offered a more personal story.

About 14 years ago, while the two were driving to a funeral in Southern Maryland, Hickey began quizzing Lori, then his secretary, about that day's schedule.

"His questions were precise, numerous and preoccupying," Lori recalled. "My answers were fuzzy, sparse and preoccupying." Before he knew it, Lori was speeding past a police car. When the officer pulled him over, Cardinal Hickey "caught the patrolman's eye and said, 'Officer, book him!' " The police officer let Lori off.
