London Blackout?- No, London Fog! Thick fog descended upon busy London town one afternoon recently, casting darkness upon the metropolis long before the usual time. Shown above is Ludgate Circus, with traffic crawling through the murky atmosphere. Pedestrians look like ghosts as they wend their way through the fog. The clock (upper right) shows that the time is 3:20 P.M.
