There are many other purely local theme parks that rate a visit: notably Marriott's Great America in Santa Clara, Calif.; Nashville's Opryland, celebrating every mode of American music; and even the revivified Coney Island.

His customers today include Cher, Diana Ross, Barbara Sinatra and Marisa Berenson. Calvin Klein has come out with soft, scal-loped-edged camisoles for summer...
