...Most tourists stand pat behind these walls of division. The resort town of Negril easily seduces the stressed-out Yankee into doing nothing but sitting at a hotel's beachside bar and staring out at the turquoise sea as it laps against the sandy shore, drinking a Red Stripe and perhaps casting the odd glance at a "European" sunbather or two. Although the goal of a hard-earned Caribbean vacation may be relaxation, this sort of sendentary behavior would run counter to Jamaica's motto: "Out of many, one people." With a bit of "lively-in' up yourself...
...exactly a fatwa, but in her own adorably angst-ridden way, actress CLAIRE DANES has provoked the ire of a foreign government. While filming the movie Brokedown Palace earlier this year in Manila, she managed to miss the more tourist-friendly aspects of the Philippine capital. Recalling her experience in an interview with Premiere magazine, Danes, who apparently possesses a keen nose, recalled that the city "smelled of cockroaches."

He admits ShareSpace may never put a single tourist into orbit, but he has yet to see an alternative he thinks would work better. The old way of doing things got Aldrin into space. It will take a whole new way to get everyone else there...
...Starr should have cut a licensing deal for his report. One of Washington's new power eateries, McCormick & Schmick's, says cigar sales at its bar are up 110% since the report appeared. A tourist paid $250 to take home 25 Macanudos as capital souvenirs. Meanwhile, sales of Oy Vey! The Things They Say, a book Lewinsky gave Clinton, have quadrupled...
