Summary	This is about Hawaii, to introduce you to a new country. New countries are like new friends. You can't get to enjoy them until you've learned something about them -- until you know the score. So here's the score on Hawaii... Before the Japanese went berserk, the Hawaiian Islands had three salable products -- sugar, pineapple, and climate. The sugar and pineapple were shipped to the Mainland (continental U. S.) where you ate them. The climate was used by an ever-increasing horde of enthusiastic tourists. It all worked out pretty happily. Then came December 7, 1941 -- and the foul blow that brought us all to Hawaii, soldier, on the way to Tokyo... The first thing you'll notice about the city of Honolulu is that it's full of drug stores, department stores, soda fountains, movies, offices, and even Americans... So you're not as far away from home as you think.--p.1-2.
