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). It was hardly a classy exit. For two hours in the autumn fog, glum parents and children clutching Teddy bears waited on the Thames pier while the creaking, 35-year-old Russian cruise ship Baltika, scheduled for scrapping next year, was readied for departure.

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...
...Santa Monica, Calif. Though he once declared that "words are at the end of their tether; their elasticity is worn out," the British expatriate was a most prolific writer. As H.F. Heard, he turned out first-rate detective stories (A Taste for Honey) and Orwellian chillers (The Great Fog). As Gerald Heard, he wrote such scholarly works on philosophy and religion as A Dialogue in the Desert and The Ascent of Humanity...
