One Saturday night last summer in London, scores of men and women, paid £50 each to walk on fire. It was 15 feet long and a searing 400 degrees centigrade.
Hugh Bromiley, a master firewalker and British martial artist, claims anyone can learn to walk on fire. Q.E.D., accompanied by a team of prominent scientists, observed the mass firewalk. Could the whole dramatic event simply be a dangerous delusion? Or does everybody possess untapped powers of mind over matter?

Today starring John Wayne
Montgomery Clift
One of the great works of cinema, Red River tells the story of Thomas Dunson, a strong-willed and hot-tempered pioneer, and his decision to embark on an unprecedented cattle drive from Texas to Abilene,
Kansas. Dunson's single-minded and ruthless obsession brings him into conflict with his adopted son, Matthew Garth, sole survivor of an Indian massacre many years before.
John Wayne stars in one of his toughest roles as the determined Dunson, and Montgomery Clift as the rebellious foster son, in a tale of drama and action across the great plains of America.
