...rare in his' adopted state: a school district that spends money. This began in 1956, when Rockefeller launched a $2,500,000 plan "to set a pattern for other school districts to follow."

And there is always a bouncer-headwaiter at the door to see that the servicemen, who make up at least half the clientele, are legally old enough to get oiled enough to make noise enough to drown out a singer who deserves a silent room. For all that, in the constricted world of Hawaiian night life, Ann Weldon's talent rides over the racket with...
