The density is easing only where it can least be afforded: the cream of Bajan youth is emigrating to the better opportunities in the U.S., Canada or Britain. Though the economy is viable, its heavy dependence on sugar, which provides...
...Boss (formerly Giro's), The Trip (once the Crescendo) and Pandora's Box. Teen Idols Sonny & Cher invented folk rock there and, at the same time, set off the craze for ruffled bellbottoms. The Strip became the perfect place for flaunting rebellion, for catching the latest underground movie at the Cinematheque and for trying on the newest fads, from pressed-straight blond hair and granny glasses to surfers' crosses, military coats and giant gilt earrings...
