The Land Of Fun & Sun: As the story goes, Hollywood grew and prospered and with it, the local resorts, country clubs, and tennis facilities until everything was so overcrowded, so expensive and so exclusive that even the members of the Hollywood movie colony found it difficult to get some peace and relaxation. Two of those celebrities, Charlie Farrell and Ralph Bellamy, began to look for something better. They found it in a small, sun-drenched community in the desert east of Los Angeles a place called Palm Springs. Farrell and Bellamy built their own tennis resort there, and their friends clamored to join. Soon, Palm Springs became the favorite getaway for an ever-expanding group of actors and actresses, directors and producers. Some enjoyed the warmth of the desert during the otherwise chilly winter months. Some enjoyed escaping the harassment of the media. Others simply enjoyed a private retreat within reasonable distance of their workplace: Hollywood. Hedy Lamarr had a house on the northeast corner of El Alameda and Hermosa Drive. Gloria Swanson had a hideaway where she could entertain Joseph Kennedy. Darryl Zanuck and Howard Hughes were notorious for their use of Palm Springs as a place to bring their paramours. The region continued to grow, spurred on by such annual events as the Bob Hope Desert Classic, the Dinah Shore LPGA Golf Tournament, and the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Golf Tournament. Today there is a veritable showcase of glittering hotels, resorts, restaurants, bistros and boutiques intersecting with streets bearing such familiar names as Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, Fred Waring, Gene Autrey, Gerald Ford and Frank Sinatra. Lana Turner, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor, Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner, and Cary Grant and Barbara Hutton all honeymooned here. But there is more to this region than a sense of being in Hollywood East. To the south and west, the terrain becomes mountainous and there are remnants of century-old gold mines scattered among the apple or

Served by dozens of daily flights from cities all around the world, Puerto Rico is unusually easy to reach, balmy and warm throughout the year, full of fine beaches, pools and golf courses, blessed with historic sights and museums, jammed with good quality lodgings, restaurants and shops-and inexpensive-to-moderate to enjoy. But instead of drowning the reader in massive descriptions of the places that vacationers use, our author confines himself to a smaller, but still comprehensive, list of preferences-his own several favorites in every price range. He is John Marino, a distinguished journalist on a San Juan, Puerto Rico, daily newspaper, and no one knows Puerto Rico (including Vieques and Culebra) better than him. Frommer's is proud to have snared such a skilled and experienced observer as the author of our guide to this popular U.S. Commonwealth.

Carole and Jude's Turkish holiday takes a murderous turn in the new Fethering mystery Carole Seddon has never enjoyed holidays much. Nevertheless, she has allowed herself to be persuaded by her friend Jude to accept a fortnight's free accommodation at a luxurious Turkish villa owned by Jude's property developer friend Barney Willingdon. But from the outset the holiday is marred by a series of menacing incidents: threatening messages daubed on the villa walls; and their host being accosted by a knife-wielding man at a local restaurant. As Carole and Jude launch into what they do best - investigating - it becomes clear that Barney Willingdon has made plenty of enemies, with his ruthless business deals and complicated love life. Matters come to a head when Carole's sightseeing trip to nearby Pinara is curtailed by the discovery of a body in one of the ancient Lycian tombs. And what really did happen to Barney's first wife, Zoe?
