...Yorkers were discovering 29th Street and Eighth Avenue, where half a dozen small nightclubs with names like Arabian Nights, Grecian Palace and Egyptian Gardens are the American inpost of belly dancing.

What Frondizi saw, touring by open car, was a brash and bustling boom town (pop. 23,000) where the sprawling trailer camps are guyed by wire against the 75m.p.h. gales, where tricky tides buffet the three to four ships putting in daily at the busy port, where U.S., British, Dutch and Italian oilmen elbow up in nightclubs to watch...
