...Louisiana debacle has apparently taught Hickel that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of indemnity. 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. In a letter to Hans Lautenschlager, president of B.A.S.F.'s American af filiate, Hickel made it clear that he would not tolerate any pollution. "This department," he wrote, "will strenuously oppose any action which would result in the degradation of the water quality in that area." According...
Orly Birds. Only one couple, Singer Paul Anka and Anne de Zagheb, have been married at Orly (in the airport chapel), but a lot of couples have slept there. The 268-room Orly Hilton and the 56-room Air Hótel are equally popular with the honeymoon crowd and the cinq-à-sept set who want to avoid being spotted by relatives or friends in downtown hótels de passé. Such liaisons have already become part of the Gallic tradition; in Une Femme Mariée, Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 film, one love scene...
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.

They found 600 jobs for 2,000 men. One $15,000-a-year engineer wound up packing groceries...
...bush, trailed by the wealthy, red-faced "Bwana Mkubwa" (Big Boss), his bored, flirtatious wife and a long line of naked natives with rifles, cook pots and bathtubs balanced on their heads. A more accurate vision is apt to be somewhat less theatrical. Outside Nairobi's new circular Hilton Hotel (the "Tiltin' Hilton"), a gaggle of middleaged, middle-class Americans clamber into a zebra-striped minibus. Whisked off to a government-operated park, they spend the day shooting everything that moves-with cameras. On the way back, they stop to shop for souvenirs: Masai warriors' spears (forged...
...beginning, there was total darkness. Then charts blinked blindingly on and off five screens as an electronic-music sound track filled the New York Hilton ballroom with Tarzanlike cries, boos and whistles. Next, harp music played while the screens flashed images of the sybaritic life-money, an island sunset, girls. Finally, a slender, gold-shirted young man with flowing sideburns mounted the podium. To belt out a rock paean to hedonism? No, to denounce the Securities and Exchange Commission for not sufficiently analyzing the economic impact of its regulatory decisions...
