During research into the meteorology of fogs, scientists at the Air Force Cam bridge Research Laboratories in Bed ford, Mass., concluded that there might be a simple way to disperse mists that develop when moist air near the ground is cooled at night. The researchers reasoned that if the warm, drier air above could somehow be driven down into the moist blanket of fog, it would cause suspended water droplets to evaporate, thus clearing...
...would be more than enough, but the adjoining dining room is fairly aglow with the Kreegers' most spectacular collection-within-a-collection. Eight mistily magnetic Monets offer a wide range of insights into the painter's gifts, from the crisp precision of an 1881 Varengeville to the moist verdure of a late (1906-16) Water Lilies...

Her angular, wide-eyed face nourishes a secret smile and a sensuality that can express itself in a dozen minor keys. Like so many other bright, blonde British birds, she invites comparison with Julie Christie; but in nine films so far, Suzy, now 30, has begun to shape a screen personality all her own. She first drew U.S. viewers' notice as Sidney Poitier's admiring...
