...election campaign moved quietly and placidly towards its climax this week the U.S. was suddenly confronted by the boldest, blackest headlines since Korea. Beneath three days of fog that sifted lightly across the Danube, the Communist satellite capital of Budapest (pop. 1,750,000) rang to the classic shouts of "Freedom of Speech!" "Freedom of Religion!" The answer, audible from the Baltic to the South China Sea, was the machine-gun fire of Communist T-54 tanks. Then, out of a deep night along the Israel-Egypt border, there sprang forth two spearheads of a regular Israeli army advance, lunging...
Boos for Ike. The Springfield response was good enough to get him really steamed up for California. In San Francisco he poured on the sarcasm ("You've got to respect [Eisenhower's] clear and forthright opposition to inflation, deflation, fission, fusion and confusion, doubt, doom and gloom, fog and smog"). And once again he asked: "Are we seriously asked to trust . . . the decision over the hydrogen bomb to ... Nixon?" And once more, the crowd roared: "No!" In Los Angeles that night, 25,000 aggressive, confident Democrats caught the new spirit as Adlai carried on at Gilmore Field. They...
...morning fog lifted. All along the Cote d'Or, the gorgeous Golden Slope of vineyards that tints eastern France for 30 miles, the autumn sun beamed warm rays on the deserted towns.

...Fog-throated Siobhan (St. Joan) Mc-Kenna, in a blonde wig, played Leslie, the high-voltage heroine, through a sticky Malayan melee of passions. Stalking Maugham's female primeval like a white hunter was Wyler's inquisitive camera, peering through all the flora and fauna into the hurt eyes of the cuckolded husband (John Mills, making his American TV debut), or capturing the guilt written across the sallow face of the barrister (Michael Rennie) who helps Leslie beat the rap. With pace and polish, Wyler distilled all the steamy Maugham atmosphere and dry rot of colonial life, brought...
...fog began closing in, Britain embarked on an autumn grousing season, picked as its first target a member of the royal family. The victim: bonnie Prince Charles, 7, fresh back in Buckingham Palace after a long Scottish holiday. The question, quickly debated by irritable newspaper readers: Assuming that Charles has a brow, is it high, middle or low? Noting that on his return "the prince's hair was even closer to his eyebrows than usual," London's more or less crewcut Daily Express pressed the attack with a monumental grouse: "Not one photograph of him has ever revealed...
