...Buccaneer Inn resort motel in Naples, Fla., by way of describing the biggest change in tourist travel patterns since Americans began flocking to the then inexpensive delights of Europe in the postwar years. From the manicured streets of Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., to the beaches of Nantucket and Cape Cod, the U.S. is playing host this summer to an army of overseas visitors that is expected to rise 19% above the 1979 level to a record 8.2 million people. While the ranks of such visitors have nearly doubled in the past five years, 1980 will go down in the travel...
...surplus electricity that the windmills feed back into the system. Such surplus power could occur, for example, during periods when winds are strong but household electrical consumption is low. Retired Farmer John F. Wolfe, 62, installed an Enertech 1500 at his oceanfront house in Barnstable, Mass., to harness Cape Cod breezes. When he and his wife are asleep, the windmill keeps churning.

...choose, he mechanically makes love to both the mayor's wife and daughter--two primped peacocks immobile on a divan--until, deciding in a characteristically inverted way that the daughter is "very un-ugly," he asks for her hand. His ecstatic dream of wolfing down a juicy salt-cod hangs suspended over his scenes in the form of a giant fish impaled on a fork; the puzzling monster pineapple that wanders back and forth upstage presumably reminds the audience mutely of Khlestakov's vegetative nature...
