...last week, Cazzie Russell was still trying to live up to his promise with the Knicks. And the Pistons' Dave Bing? Last year, in his first season, he averaged 20 points per game for a spiritless, last-place club and ran away with Rookie-of-the-Year honors. This year he leads the entire N.B.A. with 1,371 points in 50 games for a 27.4 average.

Membership costs vary from club to club, but usually include an initiation fee ($100 to $150), annual dues ($50 to $100), plus the club's cut-rate fare for the trips that a subscriber elects to make.

Unlike the others, it operates on the principle of "pay now, go later." Members kick in $995 in weekly installments over a three-year period. In each of the first two years, they are entitled to a ten-day vacation in the Caribbean or Central America. The third year brings the big payoff: 20 days in Europe...
...vacation day, including everything, and it is a hard bargain to match. Moreover, as Founder Alan Weitzman, 31, points out, "They're saving while they're planning for the trip, which keeps excitement and enthusiasm building up." Now, for the 269 members who joined Club Internationale at the outset three years ago and have since been eagerly awaiting a European jackpot this summer, President Johnson's as yet unspecified intention to curb travel outside the hemisphere is adding anxiety. "I doubt that the European travel bans will really be prohibitive," says Weitzman, but the club is making...
