...emphasize the occult, the stories are dressed in all the horrors of a Penny-dreadful--fog, train whistles, echoing voices, mist shrouded waters--and it all seems too heavy for the stories to bear. The worst sufferer is a drab little fable with the moral the Beauty Lies in the Heart. With the aid of a spectral Samaritan, Dorothy Fields proves the point by shedding the bags under her eyes when she learns the meaning of love. Duvivier makes the whole thing pretty intense, with the actors expressing utter banalities with deadly seriousness. When the embittered hero, for example, declares...
...narrow streets, yet clean, up-to-date and as comfortable as most cabs in most cities. We still have a few Georgian relics . . . but they are vanishing fast. Some, no doubt, have gone to California where, for the next few years, they may serve to perpetuate a legend (fog, a barrel-organ and a 1921 Unic taxi honking its way through the murk).

Marine Captain George Roy Hill, on a routine training flight, was flying through a pea-soup fog toward Atlanta's Candler Airport.

...Monte Carlo Rally (TIME, Feb. 11), the race is not to the swiftest but to the surest and luckiest. The 404 entries from 20 nations took off from such widely scattered points as Stockholm, Lisbon, Glasgow and Palermo. The drivers ran into all sorts of hazards: rain, snow, sleet, fog, mechanical breakdowns, head-on crashes. In addition, eagle-eyed dockers at various points ticked off the cars as they passed, making sure that none exceeded the 65-kilometer-per-hour (40 m.p.h.) speed limit. A minute's delay here, too much speed there, and a car could be penalized...
