Last February, New York Mayor John Lindsay trudged through the unplowed streets of snowbound Queens absorbing the taunts of angry householders. "Just try to get elected again!" yelled one woman. Trying to do just that, Lindsay last week returned to the same territory in a strange, triumphal procession. Surrounded by an honor guard of garbagemen aboard new snowplows, Lindsay soothed housewives with promises that they would never be snowbound again. The natives, while still skeptical, were nevertheless far friendlier than they had been last winter -and even friendlier than only a few weeks...
...arrived, around 6 p.m., the cabin's road was chain-locked and inaccessible. The chain was the province of the granite quarry next to the cabin, and Eric had our key. Rather than walk up the road to get it, Tommy and Tim decided to walk straight through the snowbound forest...
...essence remains. As the surveyor, Schell accurately embodies the man known only as "K." His agony and bewilderment are true, to the final exhausted syllable.

Pompous officials deliver pronunciamentos even when there is no one left to listen. A girl tumbles into the surveyor's bed-and exhibits neither love nor lust. The sullen winter light...

Competing in his fourth Olympics, Connecticut's Bill Steinkraus, a 43-year-old book editor, earned the U.S. its first equestrian gold medal in 20 years when he piloted a borrowed, gimpy-legged, nine-year-old gelding named Snowbound to victory in the Grand Prix jumping event...
...anti-U.S. Swedish Committee on Viet Nam, headed by Economist Gunnar Myrdal (TIME, March 15), claims a membership of 600,000 Swedes, nearly one-tenth of the population. Last month Myrdal's group staged a torchlight parade that brought 6,000 marchers into Stockholm's snowbound streets. In a move that is highly unusual for a technically friendly government, the marchers were led by none other than Erlander's heir apparent, Olof Palme, 41, the Education Minister. Swedish-American relations have become so bad, in fact, that last week U.S. Ambassador William Heath was recalled...
