...least when perceived from an armchair, is morally instructive. A repeated theme is that of pride brought low. The star of the American-owned Collins Line was the Arctic, an opulent sidewheeler launched in 1850. The ship was four years old when, steaming at full speed through fog over the Grand Banks, freighted with "manhood in its strength and daring, and woman in her trust and beauty, and youth with its sunny gladness," as a preacher wrote later, the Arctic collided with a small iron-hulled French steamship and sank. Crew members commandeered all but one of the lifeboats...
Like an ominous winter fog, labor strikes have spread across much of West Germany. First, 120,000 metal workers stomped out of 82 plants. Then employers counterattacked by locking out another 360,000 workers at more than 500 factories. Six Daimler-Benz and Audi NSU plants were shut down, and the rest of the German auto industry was expected to suspend production. The union demanded a 9% to 11% pay increase, the companies offered 4.5%, and a mediation team proposed 7.5% under a seven-month contract. The union accepted the compromise, but the employers said nein...
...Soviet officials named as spies by the British government and ordered to leave the country (15 were out of Britain when the expulsion orders came, and 20 have since left by other means).

Nerves were ragged. As press cameras clicked away, one Russian shouted: "Stop those stupid things...
Since the Big Green used to play all its Harvard and Yale games away from home, Ivy football weekends are a rarity. The young lassies will be in Hanover today and the Indians will want to impress them with their physical prowess. The fog rises slowly in the Hanover Valley this time of year, but when it does burn off in the afternoon the green scoreboard against the colored leaves of fall will read a beautiful, Dartmouth...
ELMENDORF Air Force Base, which stretches across 13,400 frosty acres of tundra on the outskirts of Anchorage, is a carryover from the days when Alaska had not yet become an American state and Japanese soldiers were swarming through the fog and cold of Attu and Kiska. Constructed 16 months before Pearl Harbor, Elmendorf was designed to blunt a Japanese thrust at the Aleutians. This week the base was to play a far different role in Japanese-American relations. According to the prepared script, a gleaming Japan Air Lines DC-8 jet swoops down at night for a refueling stop...
