Re-creating this fog in a film is what Director Michael Schultz and Producer Robert Stigwood have tried to do, and, given the $12 million budget they had, it was inevitable that they would try too hard...
Senior executives of Textron Inc. still shudder to remember the ride that Bill Miller, then company chairman, took them on last October. After visiting buyers of Textron rolling mills in Yugoslavia and Poland, they were supposed to fly to Vienna, but their plane was grounded by fog. So Miller herded them aboard a bus for a 14-hour trip through Czechoslovakia.

Through back-room cajolery, a few public threats and even a martini lunch or two, Bob Strauss has never failed at a public challenge yet. Even with the inflation odds running against him, he is an optimist and just recently he got hold of something in the fog. One morning Strauss told Carter that he was convinced the President's public threats to veto the emergency farm bill had led to the bill's strangulation in Congress, and this gave moneymen hope that Carter was going to be tough, and then this helped rally the stock market.
