Richard Ayre interviews Belfast shop owner Jimmy Elliott, who sells masks for Halloween. No trying them on first!
Outdoor fireworks were completely banned except for public displays during the Northern Ireland Troubles, but the shop is doing a roaring trade in the more underwhelming indoor alternative.

24 October 1967
This programme is much more than just a practical guide to making a shirt waister dress. There are as many fashion tips as sewing suggestions, an interview with a designer about how to achieve the couture look on a 'paper-pattern budget' and a frankly disturbing military-style catwalk show. Altogether this programme forms a revealing insight into the fashion priorities of 1967.
Examples of clothing designed by Mattli, who was famous for dresses with plunging necklines, are held in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Fashion Museum in Bath.

26 October 1962
An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council discusses the Cuban missile crisis.
At the UN headquarters in New York, US Ambassador Adlai Stevenson confronts Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin about missile bases in Cuba. Stevenson presses Zorin for an admission, saying 'I'm prepared to wait for my answer until hell freezes over'. Later, it comes to light that this is the moment just before Stevenson reveals photographic evidence of missile bases to the UN delegates. Note that this is a news feed without commentary.
During the missile crisis in 1962, Adlai Stevenson (with photographic evidence) told delegates from 13 nations that the US would destroy Soviet missile bases in Cuba unless their construction was stopped. It's unclear as to what extent the Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin was briefed by the Kremlin about the missile bases before this UN meeting. Regardless, this became known as the "Adlai Stevenson moment". Governor and Democratic presidential candidate, Adlai Stevenson helped found the United Nations. He was appointed Ambassador to the UN by Kennedy in 1961. Stevenson held this office until his death in 1965.
