News in Brief: England, Needle In A Haystack. It's "Sewing Week" in London, so in honor of that is an unusual contest -- trying to find a needle in a haystack. Literally. A crowd rushes toward the haystack and people start pulling it apart, some folks actually climbing on top of the thing. Funny. Shot of hand using a magnet amid the hay. Stages shot of winner pulling needle (with yarn or something on it) out of the straw. Winner receives a sewing machine. This is a kind of comic portrayal of people actively searching for something.
