...vicious hound of the Baskervilles that burst upon Sherlock Holmes out of the fog has returned to haunt the streets of America. The creature last week attacked a 71-year-old woman in Stone Mountain, Ga., dragging her across her driveway and savaging her so badly that she required 100 stitches. It snapped and tore at an unemployed man as he watched the July 4 fireworks in Rochester; last week he died from his multiple injuries, including a 15-in. wound from calf to thigh. And in Atlanta, Houston and Ramsay, Mich., it has seized small children like rag dolls...
...Rotterdam in late June. Canadian authorities were uncertain whether the immigrants, who paid from $1,200 to $2,500 in Canadian funds for the trip, boarded the ship in the Dutch port or were picked up en route. What they did learn is that by taking advantage of fog that blanketed the coast, the ship's acting skipper, Castor Lasalle, had managed to ease the Amelie inshore. After pleading guilty to violating immigration laws, Nygren was sentenced to a year in jail and Singh to three months. Lasalle got a 30-day jail term...
There was ground fog the morning they carried the body up the mountain, following a bagpiper in Erskine tartan and Tibetans blowing horns as long as young pines and scarlet-berobed monks, to a meadow quilted with dandelions and buttercups and 3,000 or so of the American middle class, their babies in Kreeger & Son slings on their backs. Behind the corpse, which was borne in a wood-frame box wrapped in silk, came visiting lamas, borne in big cars, or lamasines, as one wag had it. "Our understanding," one after another in the crowd said, and happily...
...stops at his 75-acre estate in Far Hills, N.J., for the 70th birthday of Forbes magazine, which sports the motto "Capitalist Tool." At dusk 100 bagpipers marched from the hills toward a 13-ft. by 20-ft. replica of a Scottish castle floodlighted and surrounded by artificial fog -- and that was just the dinner announcement. Then some 1,100 VIP guests -- including Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Kissinger, Barbara Walters, Jerry Hall and Tom Brokaw -- dined and danced in a circus-size tent and watched a fireworks show set to music by Gershwin and Beethoven. Wearing a Forbes tartan kilt...
...radiance of the setting sun or the swirling fog around San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge takes on an unearthly quality belying its 389,000 cu. yds. of concrete, 83,000 tons of structural steel and 80,000 miles of wire, much of it suspension cables a yard thick. From the Marin County headlands to the deck of a sailboat on the bay, the grand old span and its 746-ft. towers appear to be something they are not: floating, delicate, an awesome and ghostly setting appropriate for a James Bond thriller...
