...Sunday night, as he headed for dinner at swanky Alan Wong's, Obama's motorcade drove past Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, the hospital where he was born, as well as the Baskin-Robbins where he held his first job as a teenager. Pool reports noted that Obama's motorcade was larger than normal, halting traffic along his route. Hawaii residents aren't used to visitors like this, but they coped with the disruption; in some cases motorists simply turned off their engines while waiting for the President to pass through...
...high-priced luxuries Honolulu has to offer, don't forget that many of the city's most endearing attractions cost nothing at all. Take an early-morning hike up Diamond Head, for example, the iconic volcanic peak east of town. Or catch the free Kodak Hula Show at Kapiolani Park, a fun 63-year-old institution recently saved from extinction by the charitable Hogan Family Foundation.

Three-fourths of the women aborted have been single, including divorcees and widows; most have been between 20 and 30 years old. On the premise that it is cheaper to help parents control family size than to force them to feed unwanted children, welfare authorities have paid welfare patients...
...front of a pale green building on Honolulu's Kapiolani Boulevard one day last week, a band of ukuleles and a bass fiddle plunked out a rhythmic island tune. In the midday sun, languid, aloha-shirted islanders meandered back and forth along the sidewalk carrying their signs, pausing now and then for a swig of pineapple juice or to chat with a passerby. The occasion was neither a luau nor a festival, but the visible evidence of the first strike in more than 100 years of Hawaiian newspaper publishing history...
