...Israel's ideal climate and cultural attractions provide an excellent basis for developing the tourist trade...
This year's lady tourist, sure to stun the natives, will just as surely bring back with her the lovely smock, hand-painted in the juice from the biddledee nuts that fell from the trees that shaded her patio. It will be a find found in the little store tucked away at the end of the crooked street. But it may seem less of a find back home.

He relates a meeting with Emily Hart, the 22-year-old protegee of Quinquagenarian Sir William Hamilton, then English ambassador to Naples. Emily, who later became Lady Hamilton, and still later helped Nelson win the Battle of Trafalgar, used to sashay around her villa swathed in clinging Greek robes. "Our fair entertainer seems to me, frankly...
