News in Brief: Carnival
Carnival parade in Viareggio, Italy with very elaborate floats, including giant characters and lots of moving parts. One float has figures of 4 international political leaders who carry olive branches and seem to wear wings; the caricatures of Charles De Gaulle and Nikita Khrushchev. Float with a giant head representing Domenico Modugno, the man who sang "Volare." Another view of the 4 leaders, this time animated by real people beneath the giant heads; Caricatures of Dwight D Eisenhower and Harold MacMillan. Strange bedfellows.
Fashion Parade
Fashion Parade Women model fashions on a runway that seems to stretch across an indoor pool. Dresses, hats, white gloves, cocktail dress. Dress with cap sleeves and four ruffles in the skirt. These outfits are clearly shaped to show off the feminine figure. Then, some slightly different activities. Models and a man check out a car. Woman gives some sort of award (?) to a man; it looks a bit like a laurel wreath in a large picture frame.

He asks someone to answer it and we cut to gap-toothed hayseed comedian Speck Rhodes cranking up an old-fashioned wall-mounted phone.

Water the Drop of Life: Pt 1 Body & Soul
Journalist Isabel Allende says "I can really relate to the ritualistic part of water becuase after my daughter died we cremated her. She left a letter saying that she wanted to be cremated. And she wanted her ashes in nature in water. So my family and I went to a beautiful forest where Paula used to go and we scattered her ashes in a stream. This was several years ago and I go there 2 or 3 times per week to walk in the forest and be there next to that stream that carried her ashes into the ocean. And I feel that in a way she is back, she is back in the rain, she is back in the clouds. There are so many ways in which I feel my daughter, in relation to water, connected to life and water."
