Imitation Surf. With close harmony and wordless rhythm, Norman Kaye and Frankie Ross cushion Mary Kaye's wailing obbligato, producing a pleasant blend of sound that may sometimes suggest the Andrews sisters doing a Pepsodent commercial; but it is just the sort of thinkproof entertainment that gamblers crave. The trio specializes in old standards (Heartaches, And the Angels Sing), and as an extra fail-safe against boredom, Frankie Ross often makes joking commentaries on the lyrics.

The chance that any of this complicated and costly equipment would be needed...

On top of that, Jade Beach, traditionally the scene of wholesale woo after dark, was declared off limits. Worst of all, the girls were in dismayingly short supply, outnumbered 10 to 1 by the boys. Any small diversion-someone playing a bongo drum, a girl dancing the limbo-attracted hundreds of listless onlookers. Joseph Penar, a bearded student from Illinois State Normal University, shinnied up a coconut palm...
