Bill thought he could find some kind of work in the Orlando area, but jobs were tight in the tourist belt, and as he soon found, "salaries are stinko in central Florida." When he did get a job as a shop foreman for an engineering firm, he earned only $7,800. Roxie took to selling Tupperware and cut back expenses, but she could send the credit companies only token monthly payments...

In fact, TIME Correspondent Michael Moritz, working on a terminal near San Francisco, interviewed a teenage tourist in San Diego, using the ARPANET network. Marc...
Chia's bulgy operatic figures pose like Michelangelos and flourish their tiny daggers at frantic women. He will take a tourist postcard view of the Grotta Azzurra in Capri, render it big, add a floating Chagall girl upside down, add a few written phrases in the manner of '20s Mird, and title the whole pasticcio thus: In Strange and Gloomy Waters If a White Dot Shines If a Child Jumps I Will Approach Her Flight, 1979. Chia's visions may not be very deep, but nobody could accuse him of having a defective swizzle stick...
