...some once fashionable Caribbean and Mexican resorts. The dollar is worth a dollar, almost. The natives speak English, sort of. It is a fairly easy hop for U.S. Westerners, who account for 80% of Maui's visitors (though 600 people a day flew from New York City en route to Maui on United alone last year). Though here and there a McDonald's, a Pizza Hut, a Baskin-Robbins has sprouted, it is still possible on Maui to rediscover the idyllic Hawaii of swaying palms and hips that Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain and Jack London described...
...payload of taconite pellets in a straight line. Negotiating the harrowing turns of the ice-clogged shipping channel, though, is not the strong suit of the Blough or of any lengthy ore carrier.

There are four en closed repair bays, and sometimes the big rigs are lined up three and four deep waiting for service. At another bay, an automatic truck wash with 16-ft. brushes scours the outsides of 55-ft.-long tractor trailers in eight minutes at a cost...
