...limited to Bombay (where they land), Delhi (where they go to see the Taj Mahal at nearby Agra), Banaras (for its burning funeral ghats) and Calcutta (famed for slums and the Black Hole). Many tourist wonders lie off the beaten track but lack good hotels. Exceptions: the rose-pink city of Jaipur and Purion the Bay of Bengal, only 18 miles from the Black Pagoda at Konarak, famed for its delicately erotic carvings of gods and goddesses. Malaya is orderly and well-kept, almost resembling a rural England with tropical trimmings, and has 30 golf courses and fine beaches where...
...Doha, capital of Qatar (pronounced gutter), gaudy pink, green and gold palaces sprang up around the huddle of malodorous mud hovels; one vast pile, reserved for the visiting heads of state, was equipped with air conditioning and window curtains operated by pushbuttons; the outside walls of the Sheik's own palace were studded with bare light bulbs that went on by night even when the Sheik was away, which was more often than...
...London. Pound headed for the salons in his "stage poet" mask - green billiard-cloth trousers, pink coat, blue shirt, an immense sombrero, a Mephistophelean red-blond beard and a single turquoise earring. An even better attention-getting device was Personae, published in 1909, in which he first struck the tone of most modern Anglo-American poetry - spare, objective, unornamented, elliptic.

Herklots asked rhetorically when confronted by a reporter last week. He paused for a moment, then pointed to a pink slip of paper on his desk. "That's a questionnaire from a trade magazine asking me the same question. Four years ago I sent it out right away, but this time its been lying on my desk for over a month...
Hawaii Kai, which Hawaiians call the "Pink Dream," will eventually contain about 11,000 single-family houses-ranging from $25,000 to more than $45,000-for some 75,000 people. Plans call for 20 miles of man-made beach, schools, country clubs and marinas. Like all of Kaiser's other Hawaii projects-including his hotels, his fleet of 200 vehicles, bulldozers and cranes, and his private navy of dredges-the houses in Hawaii Kai will feature Kaiser's favorite color: shocking pink. His engineers say the job will take ten years, but Kaiser insists it will...
