Every major U.S. hotel chain is expanding fast overseas. In more foreign places than ever before, travelers this year will be cooled by U.S.-style air conditioning, mellowed by martinis and sustained by steaks at hotels with such reassuringly familiar names as Hilton, Sheraton, Inter-Continental and Holiday Inn. "We reckon the opportunities abroad, particularly in Europe and Latin America, are as great for us as they were in America when we started in the '50s," says Kemmons Wilson, chairman of the 1,200-unit chain of Holiday Inns. Having opened its first European inn two years...
Cavanagh is also an all-American hockey player within reach of the all-time Harvard scoring record. He isn't conceited, and he plays cleanly. He is Chip Hilton and Brone Burnett, he is a fourth-grader's dream come true...

Hickel issued a stern warning to Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik, a German company that plans to build a petrochemical complex on an unpolluted saltwater estuary near the lush island resort of Hilton Head, S.C.

Cape Kennedy has suffered the most from the slowdown in the space program. Employment has dropped from 24,000 a year ago to 17,500 today, and "pink-slip psychology" lends a frantic tone to Friday night parties at the local Hilton. Houses that sold for $25,000 a year ago now bring $1,500 less. Space contractors organized an employment service and invited more than 100 organizations-life insurance companies, boat builders, even the CIA-to interview laid-off employees. They found 600 jobs for 2,000 men. One $15,000-a-year engineer wound up packing groceries...
