Scenes like this occur daily during the busy tourist season at a small town on Martha's Vineyard. The Wamponoag Indian tribe has inhabited Gay Head since at least 2270 B.B.

When cold weather discourages crowds of tourists, the Indians tighten their belts, earning money from shellfishing or from a few municipal jobs. Although the Wamponoag Indians still dominate Gay Head's population, they now shape their town with a small, but far wealthier, white...

New Hampshire's archconservative Governor Meldrim Thomson muddied the waters further by promising Nantucketers that he would give them "two or three representatives and maybe a senator" in Concord's legislature; he also pointed out that...
...gone crazy.) Or take Harpo: his spring a nightmare of lost sure-bets and misplayed poker hands. Still other of their friends had tamer indulgences: non-stop tennis; non-stop sex; non-stop boozing; non-stop talking. The first long-delayed try at acting. Trips to the Vineyard, California, Mexico. Bank interviews. But Long John and Bentley had Kojak...
