Book desription: U. of Minnesota Press, 2005. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Rather than presenting a comprehensive history of Los Angeles, Schmidt (political science, U. of Southern Maine) traces attempts to "script" the city of angels with an idealistic civic identity. He illuminates three defining influences in influencing the city's urban culture: Los Angeles Times' publisher Harrison Gray Otis in the 1880s, Hollywood in the 1940s, and police chief William Parker's vision from 1950-92. Photos feature early city leaders and film clips. (©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
