...Coney Island's biggest addition for 1963 is Astroland, a $3,000,000 fun-and-games nexus devoted to space exploration. It has the Cape Canaveral Satellite Jet-passengers enter the rocket, fasten seat belts, then blast off with engines roaring as filmed special-effects from actual space shots conjure up a journey to the moon. The Colonel Glenn Sky Ride has 16 plastic bubbles orbiting 80 feet above the boardwalk. For downward exploration the Neptune Diving Bell encloses 30 people, drops them 35 feet down to an "ocean floor" where live porpoises play. Further along is the Double...
...only ten years, Waikiki has been transformed into some thing that seems to belong more to southern Florida than it does to the once magical islands of Hawaii.

Hundreds of homes were ruined on Long Beach Island, which was sliced into five islets by the waves. At devastated Sea Isle City, a three...

Deep valleys and isolated mountainsides that only a few years ago had been as quiet as Coney Island on Ground Hog Day are now echoing with cries of "Track!" ''Attention!'' "Pista!" and "Achtung!" (In many U.S. spots, "track" has been supplanted by golfdom's "fore.'') Spanking new lodges in a variety of architectural forms range from swish chalets to high...
