Hundreds of soldiers and sailors from Schofield Barracks and Hickam and Kaneohe converged as usual on Waikiki Beach to see what was going on at Bill Leader's bar, the Two Jacks or the Mint. Tantalizing Tootsies was the name of the variety show at the Princess...
Compared with other technologies that have reached consumers' homes with blistering speed, digital recording has been a laggard. One reason: musicmakers resisted devices that could enable consumers to create free, mint- condition copies of their favorite albums.

Palestinian life in the steep-sided hills of the occupied West Bank makes one of its dreamlike passages back to the state of mind in which, for a moment, it feels normal...
This does not imply that Baskin Robbins's utility is limited. Some of its 31 flavors, such as strawberry banana or peanut butter and jelly, may be hard to come by elsewhere. Still, the old-timer generally does its best at the old time flavors, so try the mint chocolate chip or the chocolate (many variations) if you're exploring this relic...
