Forty minutes later, Haifa One started its descent into the darkness. As soon as his DC-8 touched down, Swissair Captain Fritz Schreiber hit the brakes and applied full reverse thrust on the four engines, raising a cloud of desert dust and sand, which was sucked into the ventilation system. "The cabin was filling up with cloudy stuff that smelted like smoke," recalled Cecily Simmon of Utica, N.Y. "You could hardly breathe." Many passengers leaped through emergency doors before it became evident that there was no fire. When the dust settled, the Swissair passengers saw the reason for the fast...
...have an entree into the innards of most people you know for 18 or 20 years. With George you don't. He doesn't set up walls; they just exist." One reason may be that George does not want his innards examined; he frequently hides behind a cloud of vagueness so thick as to defy all but the most pointed questions. Another may be that he moves too fast for anybody to look very closely anyway. "A large part of my makeup," he observes, "is the pleasures of travel, being alone, moving from one place to another...
...Cabane de Douanier à Pourville, painted in 1882. Faithful to his impressionistic concern with light and color, Monet soaks the scene in sunlight.

One downpour temporarily knocked out power lines in three boroughs and Westchester County, leaving nearly 10,000 families without electricity-and air conditioning. But most of the time, a dull, maddening haze obscured the sky. "It looked awful," said Pilot-Photographer Tony Linck, after he had helicoptered around Manhattan in midweek, on assignment for TIME. "It was like flying inside a yellow-gray cloud. We had to fly by compass...
...Open history-and groused: "On eleven of the 18 holes, you can't even see the area where the drives land." Billy Casper complained that on many approach shots he needed radar to spot the flagsticks. Bert Greene, experiencing similar problems, decided to "shoot for a cloud-preferably one that isn't moving." Don January and Homero Blancas were more down to earth. They simply refused to play "that Jones course...
