Last week, as the scientists had predicted, radioactive dust began to settle out of the stratosphere over Japan. Coming into the troposphere, it mingled with the clouds and fell to earth as radioactive rain. Even before rain fell, the normal air radioactivity of 50 counts per minute rose to 400 counts at Tokyo. Rain at Matsue on the Sea of Japan registered as high as 89,000 counts. Japan's weather bureau announced, to soothe the jittery public, that more radioactive rain was to be expected, but that it would probably not be harmful to humans...
...floor levels and spacings of the front façade to the surrounding Georgian buildings. He also got off his mind another pet peeve: that too much modern ages poorly. He designed the embassy in Portland stone, London's traditional building trim which ages to a contrasting rain-washed white and deep, sooty black...
...stem. The scene was eerie, with the moon not shining but giving just enough light to see. The sea was pretty big, and I said, 'This looks like the worst squall yet.'

We gradually pulled up until we were actually sailing away from Bermuda." All around Finisterre, the same thing was happening to other competitors, and canvas was popping on most boats...
Tyrone Power plays Eddy with unflagging boyishness, and Kim Novak acts the doomed Marjorie Oelrichs with spectral intimations ("Hold me, Eddy; I'm afraid of the wind . . ."). This blowy motif runs throughout the film: death's advent is always heralded by wind-driven snow, rain or autumn leaves. A stately newcomer, Australia's Victoria Shaw, is introduced as Duchin's second wife, and a pair of clipped-accented moppets (Mickey Maga and Rex Thompson) perform as the Duchin child at different ages. Moviegoers may enjoy the rippling piano notes (actually played by Carmen Cavallaro) that made...
COSTLIER COFFEE is in store, caused by U.S. competition for quality South American beans, which are in short supply due to rain damage. Most vacuum-packed brands will soon retail for $1.10 per lb., v. the $1.40 record set as a result of market manipulation in 1954. Instant coffee will go up about...
