Today "the Beach" is an outcropping of some of the wildest architecture the world has ever seen, strung along nine miles of slim strand that often dwindles to the vanishing point. Miami Beach's famed hotels-there are 368 in all-are fantastically cantilevered, balconied and pictured-windowed confections in concrete. Inside them there is eating and sleeping, eating and talking, and eating and dancing in places with names like the Boom-Boom Room and the Cafe Pompeii. Outside there is eating and tanning around the pool on chaise longues all facing the same way. Rarely does anyone venture...
Aboard the freighter out of New York, Julian meets Cora Almeida. Slim, blonde, cool, casual, and effortlessly provocative, she is the American wife of the Brazilian politician who is the archenemy of Monteiro and the Massaranduba Concession. By the time Julian steps off the boat in the port city of Belem, he is enthralled.

A onetime London music hall comic, Laurel was the brain behind the gags and the on-screen butt of them all, the watery-eyed, squeaky-voiced noodlehead who caught Jean Harlow's dress in a car door in Double Whoopee and absorbed the custard pies in The Battle of the Century, spilled the paint, upset the ladders and destroyed...
Wooing the Russians. If Europe settles on a single system, that system is sure to spread over much of Africa and parts of Asia too. The chances of a firm verdict from Vienna look slim, however, because any committee finding must be unanimous; moreover, a decision would not bind any nation to go along. Yet the weight of majority opinion is expected to influence some vacillating nations to adopt one system or another, and Western Europe is so sharply split that the Soviet bloc will probably tip the Vienna vote...
