Flying down Interstate 90, which goes through upstate New York, a snip of Pennsylvania near Erie, Cleveland and Ohio, Indiana to Gary, where it runs next to the U.S. Steel Works, on past Chicago, veering north-west to the enclave of Madison, Wisconsin, crossing the Mississippi near Dubuque into the boring farmland of southern Minnesota, where Hubert Humphrey was born among grain elevators seen from miles away and welcoming like a pleasure ship to life-raft drifters (not like lush Iowa to the south) into South Dakota, the Badlands and Wall Drug and the Black Hills...

U.S. Businessman John Mazzarella of New York City was among a group of tourists forced to remain inside the Ledra Palace Hotel in Nicosia as hos tages of the Greeks against Turkish snip ers outside.
