Fireworks Ignite Fourth Celebrations Across the World
A sprawling look at safe and sane Fourth of July displays contrasts with global traditions. The piece notes preperked Washington displays, historic uses from Louis XIV to Napoleon, Bastille Day in Paris, and varied methods in Switzerland, Cuba, Malta, Cyprus, Madeira, and England. It highlights both peaceful city shows and wartime adaptations in World War II, with references to Judas effigies, home made brûlages, and signaling rockets in seas and skies. It ends by acknowledging continuing duty of pyrotechnics in public life and transport.
