    “look the spangles
    that sleep all the year in a dark box

    and i’ll give them all to you to hold”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
