Nearly 700,000 voyaging Americans are about to make this breezy prophecy come true. An impressive number of these U.S. tourists will carry a stowaway-Temple Hornaday Fielding. He conies handily packaged in a fact-and opinion-crammed, hard-cover container called Fielding's Travel Guide to Europe, 1958-59 (895 pp.; Sloane; $4.95).
