...published in 1963. Among the new findings, for example, are department stores in Switzerland that offer nurseries where a mother can leave the children while she shops. A typical Hadley tidbit: "Your 5-10s might prefer the whoop-de-doo Jelmoli's [in Zurich]," which offers a snack, a run in a model train, a marionette show, a carrousel ride. She has also discovered that there are several new French hotels where children can be left on their own. These hotels are "dedicated to reliable loving care for a day, night, week or longer."

City-bound riders, too rushed for breakfast at home, can buy mugs of fresh coffee, homemade blueberry muffins and cupcakes at the snack bar on the second deck. For cyclists there are bike racks below. From the sunny afterdeck, commuters can stare at some of the handsomest scenery in the world-the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito's tiny houses clinging like mussels to the surrounding green-brown hills, deserted Alcatraz with wildflowers...
