...eased for Clauss and the rest, and a vacation trip to the U.S. was quite normal. But Stark, even with its maples and birches blazing red and yellow on this early fall Saturday, is no more than a spare, work-worn village, well to the north of the usual tourist route through the White Mountains. To come here takes $ some effort. All through the afternoon of speeches and band music, the Germans, who were honored guests, and the American men of the same age who had been MPs at the prison camp, and a few old townspeople who remembered those...
...dreamed for years of visiting China, and now that Britain has agreed to return Hong Kong to the People's Republic in 1997, the royal progress began last week. In Peking she reviewed an honor guard of the People's Liberation Army and enthusiastically joined the tourist crowds in the Forbidden City.

...Cincinnati women visiting the White House separately last spring were startled to be pulled out of the tourist line and quizzed by Secret Service agents. Reason: they were radioactive. Three Ohio doctors explained in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine last week that the women had taken a test for heart disease in which each had been injected with a radioisotope before exercising on a treadmill...
