Lewis' first step abroad was to Bophuthatswana, in South Africa. In 1991 Lewis, who by then had started a company named the Plantworks, was hired to decorate a new entertainment complex called Lost City. She produced an indoor mock version of the Serengeti plains of Tanzania. Since then she has created artificial environments for casinos in Switzerland, Peru, Aruba and the Philippines. Plantworks has grown into a company employing 21 workers and chalking up annual sales of $2 million, as much as 20% of that abroad; president Lewis thinks it may double sales every year for the next five years...

Shirtless beachgoers carrying buckets and pails and snorkeling gear walked past the woman behind the Serengeti dark glasses without noticing (although the unsmiling muscle-bound guys lurking nearby, with wires in their ears and hiding automatics in their knockoff Jams, should have aroused some suspicions). While her husband golfed to his heart's content (36 holes on one day) and her daughter frolicked with two friends in the Pacific surf, Mrs. Clinton -- who does not golf, who does not do handstands in waist-high water -- remained aloof from island fun. Aides had billeted at the hotel half a dozen...
