Fogbrooms came upon the scene just as New Jersey officials were beginning to despair of ever finding a practical fog-dispersal system for their highways. Giant fans installed several years ago along the New Jersey Turnpike to blow fog away instead seemed to draw more into the area. Propane jets, used successfully to clear fog around Paris' Orly Airport, would be prohibitively costly to install along miles of highway. Like silver-iodide seeding-another technique used to clear fog from airports-the Orly system is effective only against fogs that occur at below-freezing temperatures; most New Jersey fogs...
...Wall Street, news of the commission's ruling came as still another blow to A.T. & T. stock, which, with some 3,100,000 owners, is the most widely held in the world. It reached an alltime high of $75 in July 1964, then began falling, and was further depressed by the FCC investigation. Last week A.T. & T. slumped to a 1967 low of $53.25. The loss in value of the stock since the 1964 high: $10.5 billion. Nor is the FCC quite finished with the subject of A.T. & T. In the fall, the commission will launch a new phase...
...hope that the spectacle of two groups of Harvard snobs berating each other for their snobbery has repaid the summies for any slight blow to their egos.

If this community cannot take a reasonably harmless joke on itself, then the "I Go Here in the Winter" buttons have even less value than their creator would like to believe. Stephen Nightingale...
...slowly turn green or black as panels of colored water rise inside them. A television screen set in the floor may go on, showing the viewer's face grinning nervously up at him. His voice may be recorded on a tape and played back to him. Sirens may blow and a wind blast up from a screen beneath the telephone; a ghostly echo of his words may resound in the booth, or a screen descend (the idea is to make shadow pictures on it with one's free hand). Finally, a Polaroid Land camera has been hooked into...
Dead-Reckoning Navigator. The most serious source of danger is essentially the same in 1967 as it was in 1927: bad weather. On the favorite summertime route-from the U.S. to Sept lies, Canada to Goose Bay to Greenland to Iceland to Scotland-sudden storms blow up without warning; ice can form on wing surfaces at the drop of a single degree in temperature, and the approach to such key mid-flight havens as Greenland's fiord-fringed Narsarssuak airfield (known to thousands of World War II flyers as Bluie West One) is as often as not socked...
