...summer tourism season swings into full gear after the Memorial Day weekend, U.S. hoteliers, theme-park operators, tour organizers and car-rental agencies are bracing for a flood of revenue, certain that the visitors will bring plenty of money to spread around. A Government survey done in 1986, when the dollar was 25% stronger, showed that an overseas traveler spent an average of $1,358 ($340 on gifts and souvenirs alone) while in the U.S. This year visitors are expected to inject some $10.7 billion into the U.S. economy. Partly because of this infusion, revenues for the U.S. hotel...

"In the meantime, if you can avoid the background noise, we will bring you the news if we can." Witchell, seeing a demonstrator handcuff herself to Lawley's desk, took intrepid -- although sadly unvideotaped -- action: "I sat on her and put my hand over her mouth." Police eventually removed the unwelcome guests, who were released later without being charged...
