As one travels abroad and examines the ways in which space is handled, startling variations are discovered; differrences w hich we react to vigorously. Since none of us are taught to look at space as isolated from other associations, feelings cued b y the handling of space are often attributed to something else.

Representing a small portion of the populatio n, the international travelers seemed to stand for the whole country in the eyes of many

foreigners, and it was the prodigality of their wealth, the apparently limitless wallets and purses, that seemed most danger ous. American money threatened to loot the Old World of its historic treasures, and aggressive celebrity hunters and relic g atherers to invade European privacy as well.
