Some time soon after he arrives in Hawaii, a sweet lassitude creeps over the malihini (newcomer). It may come when he sweeps back the curtain in his air-conditioned hotel room, to survey a velvety emerald view of rice fields, crew-cut golfing greens, jagged peaks with their heads in the clouds, or the azure ocean. It may come as he sits sipping a mai tai (assorted rums, lime, sugar and pineapple), served by a statuesque dark-haired wahine in a billowing muu muu with a blood-red anthurium in her hair.

Hawaiian Eye (ABC, 9-10 p.m.). Newest of the private peepers are a couple of uninsular operators named Tracy Steele and Tom Lopaka. Their very first caper, Malihini Holiday, traces a murder plot all the way from London to Waikiki...
...nightfall, the top candidates were counting the early returns, like sharp-eyed pineapple sorters in a canning factory. Well past midnight, the results began to show. Ahead in the gubernatorial race was a malihini (newcomer)-a handsome, smiling Republican named William Francis Quinn, only a dozen years in the islands, and for only 23 months territorial Governor, by appointment of President Eisenhower.

A full-sized, out-door-loving man, he was raised in Dillon, Mont. where his family had one of the State's largest cattle ranches and where he began practicing law in 1892 after leaving Washington University (St. Louis). He still goes back...
Judds. No political carpet-bagger or "malihini" (stranger), Lawrence McCully Judd is a native of the Islands as was his father before him. He is a "Kamaaina" (friendly old-timer), "oluolu" (sympathetic) to the native population. For a century his family's history has paralleled Hawaii...
