...Stones, who go in for big disasters (they bought and sank the old Ile de France to make The Last Voyage), also record the panic of an entire town, collapse a real train and a real timber trestle "420 ft. long and 200 ft. high." Yet, disappointingly, the actual sounds of collapse were so implausible that the moviemakers had to resort to studio fabrication, recording the noise of a bent spike being pulled out of a thick board with a crowbar and replaying the sound in an echo chamber at one-third its normal speed.

To satisfy Russia, Finland will keep import quotas on those goods that Russia chiefly supplies, e.g., fuels and fertilizer. But as one former Finnish ambassador to Washington explains: "You cannot understand what EFTA means to us-it is our first formal link...
...belts, swords, guns, cartridge boxes, and many other things, were different. As many as ten different saddles were in use, and of the many army homes-tents-there were a great variety."
