Heavy Smog Grips Beijing 
-------------------------


 
Residents of Beijing are suffering through a sixth day of heavy smog. On
Monday, authorities issued the second-highest level of pollution alert
for a second time after it was used for the first time ever on Friday.
During an orange alert, children and the elderly are warned not to go
