...Christmas tree, nothing pretentions, but if I know my governor-generals they don't just let the day slip by. I mean, the governor-general probably gets Christmas cards from people he knows back home, and for all I know he may even send some out himself, with a Tahitian theme or something. A native girl lying under a Christmas tree, I don't know...
...Arizona chef used fillet of road runner; the Tennessee champion boasted of his raccoon. The Hawaiian contingent made its stock (it said) from a "tired Samoan fighting cock." Californian and Texan experts used some 40 varieties of chili peppers, ranging from the relatively mild Big Jim to a Tahitian product that would blow the bow off the Bounty. For added flavoring, rival chili heads stirred in dried armadilla blood, tequila, beer and, it was reported, marijuana. Singer Kathryn Grayson's "All-American chili" incorporated meatballs, Italian-style. The ingredients used by Girl Scout Troop 256 from Odessa, Texas, were...
...Paris, it's New Jimmy's and Le Regine. In Monte Carlo, the snob spots for drinking and dancing are the Maona (Tahitian), Para-dize (Brazilian) and New Jimmyz (art deco).

Walking past packing boxes, a Tahitian rhythm drum and half a dozen guitars splayed next to a piano, Joni pirouettes proudly. "Isn't this a great old place? It was built in 1929. Look, it even has a hidden bathroom" (behind a wooden panel in the corridor wall...
...Frank Capra's racy and extremely successful It Happened One Night with Clark Gable and an incomparable bedroom scene. Worth nothing that the famous Leg is not Claudette Colbert's. Also at the Science Center is the Laughton version of Mutiny on the Bounty, infinitely better than the later Tahitian Treat model with Marlon Brando and the entire native population of the South Pacific. Bagie's at the Brattle, it being that time again, and Citizen Kane, at the Orson Welles as of Sunday, is always worth a look, even though the Rosebud bit looks sillier and sillier with every...
