Others started up airlines, banks, insurance companies and scores of smaller businesses ("The poor Chinese," goes a Hawaiian gag, "is the one who washes his own Cadillac").

Kaiser jolted the Big Five by plunking down $18 million for an apartment-hotel resort called "Hawaiian Village," starting a $350 million "dream city" in Oahu's Kokohead area.

Swaddled in wrinkled black tights and shapeless pink top. Teacher Rambert would roam the practice room correcting ("Long the arms"), scolding ("You use your leg like a mop"), occasionally doing exuberant cart wheels across the floor. Still as exuberant as ever, she now celebrates each birthday by doing a "fish dive" into the arms of the nearest partner...
