...Margaret and Tony were late, leaving Dick Dimbleboom to fill the BBC air with 55 minutes of spontaneous prose. It was a pukka job, a splendid sort of flight of the Dimbleby. He talked fluently of the Thames, sturdily of Tower Bridge, thickly of the city's occasional fog. Five helicopters coptered overhead. Mounting to lance, Dimbleby told his audience: "If I had a really good air gun, I'd know what to do with those five." When the couple arrived at last, Dimbleby sent the princess "down Father Thames and down to the sea" with the teleprayer...
Hiroshima, Mon Amour (Zenith International), the work of Alain Resnais, a 37-year-old director of documentary films (Van Gogh, Night and Fog), is the acknowledged masterpiece of the New Wave of Gallic moviemakers (TIME, Nov. 16).

Fortuitously, a "Capital-Site Steering Committee" came around with petitions bearing the signatures of 13,000 Alaskans who want the capital moved from fog-plagued Juneau westward to the Fairbanks-Anchorage...
