...Milanese even defend their weather-last year Milan had 200 days of rain, hail, snow, sleet, fog and overcast. They assure visitors: "It's the kind of climate that keeps you moving. In Rome, all you feel like doing is looking out the window." A Milanese is always going somewhere: to his job, or to one of the cafes and bars in the glass-domed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, or to Italy's largest railway station to board the express to Rome, or to a business appointment in the slim, 33-story Pirelli Building, which is Western Europe...
...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).

As a matter of fact, it is all these things and more-an intense, original and ambitious piece of cinema...
...decaying minds, and to feel the texture of withering flesh. But something is lost when Simon's subject is less elemental than death. The reader never really learns what is happening to the book's narrator, the daughter-in-law of the bickering couple. The same uncertain fog enshrouds her husband-or is it her lover? Ambiguity has its uses, but Author Simon's manner sometimes seems to be the pointless result of a powerful technique thoughtlessly applied...
Juneau lay under a woolly fog that rolled in off the Gastineau Channel, and airplanes carrying Alaska legislators probed in frustrating circles over the capital's airport. Some lawmakers turned to dog sled and Coast Guard cutter, others waited restlessly in clearer areas until the fog lifted, but everybody was on hand last week when the new state's first legislature was gaveled into its second session. 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...
