Aghast at her gaffe, she whispered to Adenauer, "I feel so out of place." "Don't you worry," der Alte...
...ready-at $30 to $50 a day-to bring in that trophy for the game room. The bungalow that rented for $30 a month brings as much as $250, and a one-bedroom house on the fashionable hillside called "Gringo Gulch" goes for at least $10,000-still a bargain by Acapulco standards. There is neon, a supermarket, a nightclub. The new Posada
