...Weather Bureau blamed America's freeze on a "meandering strong wind current" flowing south from Canada, offered what comfort it could by announcing, "As cold as it is, it is not as severe as the great cold wave of 1899 . . ." The record cold so threatened the survival of southern Europe's migratory birds that the International Hunting Council asked European governments to ban all hunting until the spring thaw; in Italy and Germany, fish hatcheries reported widespread losses as ice cut off the oxygen supply of breeding fish...

When an outbreak of power failures brought a storm of complaints to the Power Ministry, Mrs. Wood helped raise at least some temperatures by posing for the Daily Mail in her cold-weather costume: a turtleneck sweater, fishnet stockings, and skintight, black woolen knee-length panties...

A 7-ft. man walking down the street is the kind of oddity that children point at and drunks snarl at; he has been asked "How's the weather up there?" in a dozen languages, and people have been calling him "freak" to his face all his life. He even sticks out, drawing all eyes, on a court full of huge men. Says his friend Bill Russell: "Wilt is not only very famous; he's very obvious...
