...backpacking-across-Europe reputation Let's Go has acquired, and the series' cheap listed accommodations tend to scare off upper-crust travelers--the "well-heeled" in Schubert's words. That's not likely to change, either. The costs of updating the guides every year keeps daily stipends for r-dubs as low as $30 and never above $100.

...leaned back and watched their money grow. Orson Welles (Angus MacFadyen) directed the musical under the aegis of the Federal Theater Project, a government initiative intended to provide work and keep culture going in rough times. But anything approaching Blitzstein's socialist sentiment wasn't welcome as the Red Scare heated up and suspicious eyes turned to the nation's artistic community in order to find a culprit for the spreading virus. Rather famously, Welles' production was shut down on opening night, marking the only time that federal troops were called in to squelch an evening of theater...
