...Victorian criminal-lack the Ripper. The confrontation contains some bloody-awful picture possibilities, and Director James Hill (Born Free) has the wit to explode them as he exploits them. The bloodiest, of course, are presented by those scenes in which the Ripper, swathed in the sort of corpse-grey fog the last century called a "London particular," glides up to a luckless trollop, and with a knife at least as big as the minute hand on Big Ben opens the poor girl from 'ere to 'ere. At such moments Hill hoses the screen with such a preposterous torrent...
...Polish Bison Brand Vodka [Oct. 14]? A Bog-Fog? Better a Yucca-Flats. Merely have at hand four quarts of vodka, 15 3-oz. bottles of maraschino cherries, ten mashed oranges, lemons and limes-plus rinds, 1 lb. of cane sugar, 10 lbs. of ice cubes, and proceed to dump the whole mess into a wastebasket. Stirring recommended...
Flies to Flies. The plot evolves, or rather meanders, in a kind of metaphysical Disneyland setting thick with mountainous stalactites and stalagmites, behind, over and under which lurk new magical wonders to behold. Fog billows, backdrops quaver with psychedelic patterns, a sword springs from nowhere, an orange fountain gushes from center stage, a tenor flies into the flies.

Loudest bravas went to Christa Ludwig, whose lusty soprano and hip-swinging histrionics had bite and conviction...
...Fogs & Black Martinis. Because of its versatility, vodka has also replaced rum as the prime ingredient in the more outlandish mixed drinks. Fruggers at The Daisy in Beverly Hills between exhibitions fuel up with White Russians (vodka, Kahlua and cream) or with the vodka Orange Julius. Their counterparts in Miami and Palm Beach go for the Bog-Fog (vodka and cranberry juice-known to New Englanders as the Cape Codder) or the Palm Bay Intrigue (pineapple wine with vodka and a squeeze of lime...
Amelia Earhart helped found Northeast Airlines 35 years ago, and some critics insist that that was the highest Northeast ever flew. Its equipment included the oldest DC-3s flying regular service in the U.S. Schedules through and out of New England were as patchy as a Cape Cod fog, baggage and reservations were often scrambled. Anguished anecdotes about Northeast service became a fad. There was, for instance, the plane that loaded up and then sat for so long on the apron that passengers joked to one another about not having a pilot. As it turned out, they didn...
