With emotions somewhat like Noah's when the dove brought the olive twig to the Ark, Romans learned last week that the first civilian train since the armistice would soon chug down to Naples. It will take the Stella Roma (Rome Star) twelve hours to make the 135-mile run that crack trains used to make in less than four hours. But to Italians, who for a year and a half have known the isolation, despair and hunger that follow the collapse of a highly developed technological civilization, the wail of the Stella Roma's whistle would seem...
Their descriptions of the apparition varied, but they agreed that the mysterious flares stuck close to their planes and appeared to follow them at high speed for miles. One pilot said that a foo-fighter, appearing as red balls off his wing tips, stuck with him until he dove at 360 miles an hour; then the balls zoomed up into...
