...offer is tempting. Whereas the ruble is officially pegged at $1.11, the tourist can get it on the black market for anywhere from 25? to 66?. But it is also dangerous, as two young American tourists discovered last week. Hauled before a Leningrad court were Buel Ray Wortham, 25, of North Little Rock, Ark., and Craddock M. Gilmour, 24, of Salt Lake City, who had made the mistake of talking about their black-market dealings in the presence of their Intourist guide.

A passenger might travel New York to London and return for as little as $230 -- less than HSA's rate -- but he is required to schedule and pay for an additional $70 worth of European tourist services when he buys his ticket.

In 1966, there will be 700,000. The most conservative estimate predicts 1,000,000 visitors by 1970, the most optimistic...
...rush is on, and no letup is in sight. The number of passengers through Honolulu airport has more than doubled in six years, and airline executives foresee an even greater escalation after the 490-passenger "Jumbo" Boeing jets start to fly in 1969. Some visitors flying tourist class pay only $100 for the five-hour flight from...
