In the Driftway

In Miami, for instance, the newspapers whose columns once groaned with the advertisements of real-estate developments now solace themselves with a glorification of the local weather by holding up that in the North in lurid contrast. The morning newspaper prints no local weather prediction. A little spell of cold or rain in Chicago or New York, which is dismissed by the press of those cities with a few inconsequential paragraphs or gets no notice at all, is good for a spread-head on the first page in Miami. Yet it is a vastly impressive sight, this winter playground in the southernmost tip of the states.
