British newsstands, normally snowed under by a weekend blizzard of weekly magazines, last week looked rather bare. Of some 200 London weeklies, 60 had failed to appear, including such favorites as Radio Times (circ. 8,000,000). Reason: a labor dispute affecting some 3,500 London job printers. They charged that they had been locked out by their employers, the London Master Printers Association. The association retorted that it had fired the printers for refusing to abolish overtime restrictions. They had been required to do so under a government arbitration decision awarding the men a weekly raise...
...allegory, The White Tower makes a molehill out of the mountain, but at face value, it is a superior adventure film, full of awesome scenery and the photogenic excitement of mountain climbing. Against backdrops of fog, a blizzard and glaring snowscapes, Director Ted (The Window) Teztlaff skillfully conveys not only the hairbreadth perils and sheer exertion of the sport, but also a fair idea of its tricky techniques.

From there on, in deceptively simple prose, Williams keeps his story moving without a hitch on three levels: 1) a more-or-less conventional love story; 2) a psychological...
...soft-accented young physician with a pretty blonde wife and a two-year-old daughter moved last week into a rambling white clapboard house in Fabius, N.Y. Before his office was finished, a blizzard swirling outside brought him his first emergency case: a townswoman who had fallen on ice. For both Dr. Joseph Brudny, 33, and the twin villages of Fabius and Pompey (combined pop.: about 3,000), the beginning of his practice was the fulfillment of a dream...
