    No jewel is like Rosalind.”

    “The freeway experience ... is the only secular communion Los Angeles has.... Actual participation requires a total surrender, a concentration so intense as to seem a kind of narcosis, a rapture-of-the-freeway. The mind goes clean. The rhythm takes over.”
    —Joan Didion (b. 1935)

    “Cities are ... distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm.
