After this situation has been squeezed for as many leers as possible, Rock tricks Leslie into thinking that she turns into a raving nymphomaniac after a few drinks. (Ha!) In revenge, she uses her psychological know-how to render Ladies' Man Hudson impotent. (Ha-ha!) In counterrevenge, he pretends that she has made him homosexual; he shacks up in a motel with a girl who is dressed up to look like a pretty young man. (Ha-ha-ha...
...paved road in Haiti, running north from the Port-au-Prince capital of Cap-Haïtien, is now in ruins, pot-holed with foot-deep craters that all but disembowel any cars and trucks that travel it. Construction on the $40 million Artibonite Valley irrigation project has stopped, and 30-ft.-high cacti choke the rich sisal fields outside Port-au-Prince. Bankruptcies are rising sharply in the capital, and in the countryside starving peasant mothers beg visitors to buy their babies for two gourdes, or 400 U.S., in hopes that the infants will survive. The country...
...huge laughs on such lines as "Let copulation thrive;" "Ha! Goneril, with a white beard!" (to Gloucester), and "Let me wipe it (my hand) first; it smells of mortality." is difficult to imagine, but Mr. Carnovsky accomplishes it.

A rare blend of innkeeper and conservationist, Rockefeller has until now specialized in the Caribbean, building quiet, out-of-the-way resorts on Bali-Ha'i beaches with 24-carat accommodations-Caneel Bay on St. John's, Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico. Mauna Kea may prove his biggest resort investment so far. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the hotel is a tiered, four-story structure whose 154 rooms surround palm-filled inner courtyards. Guests with rooms facing west gaze out on a beach with sand the consistency of powdered sugar...
Nauru is no Bali Ha'i, but it suits its 2,700 inhabitants down to the ground. Since the ground is almost solid phosphate, the natives support themselves by selling it off at the rate of some 1,800,000 tons a year. The only cloud on the horizon is the fact that by 1995 the 5,263-acre island will be stripped of phosphate (used for fertilizer), leaving a big, barren pothole in the Pacific, 2,500 miles northeast of Sydney. Then Nauru's dark-skinned population will have to move to another, less tight little island...
