...outfitted with white carpeting and white Naugahyde upholstering. A onetime U.S. Army pilot who is now a traffic watcher for radio station WXYZ, Stutesman is one of a growing tribe of hardy newsmen (and women) who hop into a Cessna or helicopter in the early-dawn hours, brave snow, fog and smog to report the traffic below and watch for fastbreaking news stories like fires and explosions...
...workers trudged to their jobs, a heavy fog blanketed the bleak and grimy town. It hung suspended in the stagnant air while local businesses-steel mills, a wire factory, zinc and coke plants-continued to spew waste gases, zinc fumes, coal smoke and fly ash into the lowering darkness.

In time, Pascin perfected the art of sfumato, the soft, smoky blending of tones from light into dark practiced by Da Vinci...

When Premier Eisaku Sato dissolved the ninth postwar Diet last week and called for new elections to be held on Jan. 29, his move seemed destined to go down in history as the "Black Mist Dissolution"; it developed from the fog of corruption and influence-peddling scandals (TIME, Nov. 4) that have embarrassed the government during the past five months...
