...cops, professors, bums, Wall Street customers' men, out-of-work actors with Biblical haircuts, dye-blonde actresses with bright blue eyelids; sailors in summer whites, girls in their summer dresses, girls in slacks, pony-tailed skinks from Greenwich Village, and novice beards with the Penguin Classics in the hip hip pockets of their dungarees-fabricating laughter in all the archaic places. The crowd begins on folding chairs around a large and multi-proned stage, then spreads out onto bleachers and grass-covered slopes. About 3,500 turn up in Manhattan's Central Park each evening to watch...
...Reporting on the diverse products that he predicts will give his company 1961 sales of more than $1.2 billion, North American Aviation's reflective President John Leland ("Lee") Atwood, 56, suggested that it was time somebody coined a new name for his industry. Now that airplane makers are hip-deep in rocketry, astronautics and electronics, and sometimes no longer making airplanes at all, says Atwood, "what was once called the aircraft industry has clearly become something else that almost defies classification."

But even the experts still seemed somewhat confused. "The Pachanga," Arthur Murray pronounced sagely, "is gay and fun and sexless." Clearly, Murray had been watching the Palladium's handkerchiefs, not its skirts...
...night comes frenzy. Quinn's Tahitian Hut swarms with people eager for entertainment after a hard day at the beach. The favorite dances, the otea and the tamure, are frankly erotic, but with all the hip quaking and knee knocking, much more innocent and enjoyable to watch than Elvis Presley. When Quinn's closes, the natives and travelers move on with their guitars and their cases of Hinano (the local beer) to other places-often in the middle of the road-to continue their happy partying. After that, there is always the possibility that everybody will want...
