What inspired you to work with Hello Kitty? -Soyeun Yang in Superior, Colorado Hello Kitty debuted in March 1975. From about 1978, she stopped selling well, the second designer left and just when I thought that the company would not be looking for a third one, the president said that Hello Kitty came to an existence as a symbol of friendship and therefore he could not allow her demise.

Correctly figuring that most affluent U.S. tourists would rather take hookworm medicine than a bus, an outfit called Tour Alaska had the superior idea of buying several old domed railroad observation cars, built to take big spenders from Chicago to the West Coast in the '50s. These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every day as the Midnight Sun Express, stopping...
