Breakfast Caviar. Before takeoff, the pilot warmed up his four turboprops for a full half-hour. Then we lifted off, climbed gradually to 33,000 ft., leveled. A pink-cheeked'stewardess, her nose peeling after a day on a Cuban beach, brought breakfast-caviar, lettuce, salty smoked salmon to begin with; a small beefsteak with potatoes and green Cuban tomatoes to follow; a piece of cake and an orange for dessert, with coffee. As first-class passengers, we got vodka and wine; tourist passengers got nothing stronger than mineral water, and three civil engineers from Leningrad complained loudly...

Even cornball tastes are catered to satisfactorily in such limey-flavored musicals as Oliver! and Stop the World-I Want to Get Off. Now The Hollow Crown, more caviar than cornball, does not let the British side down. It is an expertly fashioned, gracefully rendered, persistently evocative evening of dramatic readings, chronicling a cavalcade of English monarchs from King Arthur to Queen Victoria...
...bath-dressing room, and fully equipped kitchen. Each is staffed by a butler and maid, and has its own electric cart for transportation. There is no such thing as an extra charge; guests may demand a private plane or a Rolls-Royce for a drive around the island, order caviar or Dom Perignon any time they want-all is included in the rate: a cool $2,000 for two people for two weeks ($3.000 for a month). "My dream is to give a guest the nearest thing to his own house, to live in just as though he owned...
