...delicacy worthy of a Geneva disarmament conference. A round-the-world trip from Miami, for example, theoretically costs $2,099, but a ticket for the same route can be bought in London for (pounds)998 ($1,254).

Georgia Poet Sidney Lanier was hired to lure frostbitten Northerners with seductive publicity, and William Jennings Bryan was paid $100,000 a year to tout lots in Coral Gables. "Florida," writes Rothchild, "missed that period of American migration when you could get to know a place before you saw a brochure...
