** Teenage boys are allowed to go from New York to Atlantic City to find summer jobs without their parents.
** Duke tries to get a job as a bellhop. But that job is reserved for whites and he ends up washing dishes.
** Maury and Duke marvel at the "revealing" nature of full-body women's swimsuits, which admittedly did show more than the layered dresses that were the norm for the period.
