Increasingly, tourists in search of Hawaii's fabled charms look beyond Oahu. Jackie Kennedy visited Laurance Rockefeller's ranch house at the 265,000-acre Parker ranch on the "Big Island" of Hawaii this summer. Barbara Hutton tried the Royal Lahaina Hotel on Maui. Lynda Bird picked Kauai for her latest trip...
...free Mauna Kea (13,784 ft.), new telescopes sweep the skies from a site that Astronomer Gerard Kuiper terms "the finest in the world-I repeat, in the world." Five space-tracking stations in the islands now spot missiles and satellites. A hundred miles northeast of the island of Maui, a place where the ocean is three miles deep has been chosen for the $71 million Project Mohole-an attempt to drill three miles through the earth's crust to the underlying mantle. A recent business-sponsored survey projected a possible annual income of $100 million for state firms...
...building booms, this one has jumped from bustling Oahu (the island on which Honolulu is located) to the rest of the archipelago. On Hawaii Island, largest in the group, a $2,000,000 shopping center will rise near Hilo and a 150-room Hilton hotel at Kailua-Kona.

Four new mattress factories have been opened, and Schlitz is about to build a 100,000-barrels-a-year brewery near Pearl Harbor...

The Hana-Maui Hotel is so revered an institution that some of its affluent guests (like Faithful Vacationer Marshall Field Jr.) arrange to skip Honolulu completely, fly by private plane directly in and out of Maui. Just within the past six months, a first-class championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones has opened, flanked by two new luxury resorts. One is the Royal Lahaina. a 32-cottage settlement and semiprivate club. The new Sheraton-Maui is less expensive but more...
...Hawaii, the urge to go native overcame Conductor Leonard Bernstein on his 42nd birthday, so he stripped down for action and conducted a seashore luau on the island of Maui. Clad only in a slit-to-hip malo and a rakish palm hat, Bernstein entertained his entire New York Philharmonic Orchestra, which was flown over to Maui after two concerts under Bernstein's baton in Honolulu. During the day the mellowing boy wonder of music went waterskiing, stuffed himself with poi and other Hawaiian goodies, planted a coconut tree and got a raft of gifts, including a pass exempting...
