...York's Robert Kennedy took note of warnings that the bombing "might drive the Soviet Union and Communist China together again." What made him think so? "I had a visitor, a rather important visitor, from the Soviet Union during the last week," he explained cryptically, and the visitor told him so. Reaching for a description of the U.S. role in Viet Nam, Bobby misquoted Roman Historian Tacitus-and ludicrously mislabeled him "one of their generals"-as saying, "We made a desert and we called it peace." Fulbright joined the debate, warned darkly that "this, I fear...
...Modern Art, Levine and a cadre of workmen had constructed something called The Star Garden. At the corners of an open 40-ft.-square area were four separate oblong bubbles, each 7 ft. high, and 16 ft. on each side, made of a clear, fire-retardant plastic. The visitor was invited to walk between instead of around these bubbles. The process was supposed to induce "giddiness" and "weightlessness," which .in turn would make the viewer feel like a star in outer space...

Tourists can travel 8,500 ft. up Mount Kenya to the bamboo-jungle-surrounded Secret Valley Game Lodge, a two-story building set on tree-trunk stilts, rent a room for $15 a day (including meals) and gaze in perfect safety at leopards that slink out of the night to feed on baited...
INDIA too is expecting an enormous turnout of tourists this year. And if they ever get beyond haggling with the marketplace throngs of Delhi and Calcutta, visitors can luxuriate in the Shangri-lalike valleys of Kashmir, where they can rent a houseboat for as little as $49 a week and drift about the placid, clear mountain lakes. For the more rugged visitor, Nepal has the Tigertops Hotel, which offers its guests an elephant-back excursion through the jungles. For the athletic, there is a $300-a-week hiking trip through tiny Buddhist villages, across flower-carpeted Himalayan meadows...
