...unemployed musician, throws a party every Wednesday night in his basement pad. He serves coffee, invites in an embryo rock group, charges neighbors 50? to drop by-and clears $30 to $40 a week, enough to pay the musicians' carfare and, more important, his rent. In Squaw Valley, half a dozen ski bachelors are renting a cabin for the winter. To pay for it, they are giving mammoth spaghetti-dinner parties every Saturday night. Charging $1.50 to $2 a head, they hope to clear enough to live rent-free...
...made films not for children but for "honest adults." He was pleased when the enormously successful Disneyland was dubbed "Disney's Golden Cornfield," and said defiantly, "We're selling corn. And I like corn." Though most of his later "real-life" nature movies-The Living Desert, Beaver Valley, Water Birds-were imaginative documentary films, some critics protested that he spoiled them with gimmicks. And though historical pictures like Davey Crockett were also big hits, Disney was again criticized for sugar-coating his history...
...Collected Poems of Ezra Pound are chosen to show that the giver is an intellectual, not because the recipient might actually enjoy them.

...picnickers or sightseers to visit the two-thirds of the island that is accessible no other way: the rim of the crater of long-dead Mount Waia-leale (with 400 to 800 inches of rain a year, the wettest spot on earth), the hidden beaches like Honopu and the Valley of the Lost Tribe on the Na Pali coast, populated today only by prancing mountain goats. Said Jackie, after she had picnicked at one of Kauai's inaccessible beaches hemmed by steep lava cliffs: "I had forgotten-and my children had never known-what it is like to discover...
Cavorting Whales. On Maui, known as "The Valley Isle," mangoes, papaya and passion fruit on the roadside wait to be plucked by the passing traveler. The newest and best resort hotels are going up along a peerless, three-mile stretch of white beach on the southwestern side of the Kaanapali area, where the low-slung Royal Lahaina, the Royal Kaanapali and the towering Sheraton-Maui, built on a lava rock outcropping, together share a $1,800,000 golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones and blasted out of the slopes of Mount Puu Kukui. A $6,000,000 Hale Kaanapali...
