...nightfall, the top candidates were counting the early returns, like sharp-eyed pineapple sorters in a canning factory. Well past midnight, the results began to show. Ahead in the gubernatorial race was a malihini (newcomer)-a handsome, smiling Republican named William Francis Quinn, only a dozen years in the islands, and for only 23 months territorial Governor, by appointment of President Eisenhower. Leading in the race for one of the U.S. Senate seats was former (1951-53) Democratic Territorial Governor Oren E. Long. 70. Way out in front for the other two congressional posts were two Hawaiians of Oriental ancestry...
...country girls grew up not far apart, Penny in Gilford, N.H., Betsy in Norwich, Vt. Both were on skis early, Penny using barrel staves with canning-jar rubber bands nailed on for bindings, Betsy with a pair of toy skis. Both grew deadly serious about skiing, wangled time off from high school to attend meets. Both were good enough to make the 1956 Oympic team, where they ran headlong into the great European skiers.

...Baja California's boom triangle. Shucking off the mañana tradition, Ensenada laborers are working seven days a week to finish a $15 million deepwater port, a $3,500,000 cement factory and acres of new houses. Close to 4,000 workers are employed catching, cleaning and canning plentiful white sea bass, sardines, rock lobsters. A new cannery packs tomatoes and chili peppers grown on farms to the south. White-painted boats chug in and out of the harbor, carrying the guests of 44 new motels to sport-fishing grounds...
