...Cement & Thatches. Kaiser started in a small way-for him. He bought $3,000,000 worth of land bordering on Waikiki, created his own beach and artificial lagoon, and started work on his Hawaiian Village Hotel. In short order, he built 70 thatch-roofed units, a million-dollar 100-room hotel, a 1,000-seat convention hall, a 14-story, 260-room Ocean Tower, an aluminum dome for the convention over flow, and a $1.5 million, 13-story hotel.

There is grumbling, too, over the fact that the army is still making occasional arrests for "antirevolutionary activities," a vague charge theoretically punishable by death and thus a powerful damper on the right to dissent...
...conspicuous omission of Charlie's name from a stretch of pavement that will be known as the Hollywood "Walk of Fame," bearing the inscribed names of some 1,500 Hollywood stars, past and present. Chaplin Jr. sees his father's failure to get star billing in cement as tantamount to public disgrace. At the very least, it is ingratitude...
