When a northeast wind finally blew down the gulch, Boyer pressed the button. A cloud of grey smoke rose up with a ball of fire at its heart; out of it spouted flashes of light like giant Fourth of July sparklers. Observers heard a loud bang and felt a modest shock wave. As the cloud began to dissipate, three Air Force bombers swooped into it, collecting air samples. Then men wearing respirators and full safety suits stepped cautiously within 200 yds. of ground zero. Kiwi had disappeared. Nothing was left on the seared site but the railroad car with...
...into Malaysia. Airlifted from London to Singapore were the first of 1,000 paratroopers and Scots Guardsmen. Husky, ruddy-cheeked young tommies in heavy suits and bulky sweaters, they looked like members of an oversize Rugby team. Not many miles away, other British troops stripped protective covering off small, grey woodhull ships-mothballed minesweepers and patrol boats that have been kept ready for use ever since World...
Floating Zoo. Last week Huston was functioning furiously in both guises. As Noah, with a full grey beard and wearing a coarse beige tunic, he was striding up and down the gangplank of the $300,000 ark made of roughhewn logs.

...home on Campobello Island are delightfully period piece, full of shots of Roosevelt in his most informal hours-that is, with his jacket off, perhaps, but never his tie. But when the moment arrives to say that F.D.R. suffered his attack of polio there, lightning flashes in the sky, grey horses standing in the pasture neigh with terror, and ominously choppy waters are shown in whipping rain. The narrator tells how Roosevelt, on the day he fell sick, became overheated fighting a brush fire, and the producers stage a brush fire to illustrate. F.D.R. later cooled off by taking...
