    Peter Glenville: An Inventory of His Papers at the Harry Ransom Center Descriptive Summary Creator: Glenville, Peter, 1913-1996 Title: Peter Glenville Papers Dates: 1914-2001 Extent: 37 document boxes, 5 oversize boxes, 4 oversize flat files (osf) (17.64 linear feet) Abstract: The Peter Glenville Papers embrace correspondence, business records, address books, appointment books, photographs, clippings, and personal documents. Spanning the years 1914 to 2001, the collection is largely in its original order, with the material in each series arranged alphabetically by original file title. Language: English Access: Open for research. Some materials have mold damage; see the Condition Note concerning access to these materials. Condition Note: Portions of the Peter Glenville Papers were damaged by mold during storage in the years after Glenville’s death. Most of the damaged materials were in sufficiently sound condition to permit the Ransom Center’s Conservation Department to clean them so that they could be safely handled and viewed with proper precautions. During cataloging, preservation photocopies were made of all personal correspondence located within the moderately mold-damaged materials (boxes 30-37) and these surrogates are now interfiled in the undamaged papers (boxes 1-29) to facilitate use of the collection. All photocopies are marked "Preservation photocopy of mold-damaged original in the Peter Glenville Papers." Researchers wishing to access the moderately mold-damaged originals located in boxes 30-37 are cautioned that while the Conservation Department has treated these manuscripts for mold infestation by aspiration and/or dry cleaning, mold may still be present. Users sensitive to mold should wear gloves and a dust/mist respirator while handling this material.

    December 6, 2012 To: David Martin, Planning Director From: Santa Monica Coalition for a Livable City Re: Request that City Submit a Comment Letter on the FEIR Objecting to Significant Traffic Impacts of the Casden Sepulveda Project on Santa Monica Dear Mr. Martin: As I mentioned to you last night, the City of Santa Monica has the opportunity and the obligation to comment upon the very serious traffic impacts on Santa Monica of a huge nearby proposed project –- the Casden project at Pico and Sepulveda in Los Angeles. As LUCE makes clear, transportation planning must be regional. Time is running out: Santa Monica has only 2 weeks to be heard. We urge you, on behalf of the City of Santa Monica, to review the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) released in November 2012 concerning the significant, unavoidable traffic impacts for the massive Casden project. Our LUCE sets forth the responsibility of Santa Monica to “collaborate with surrounding jurisdictions to seek appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the potential negative impacts on Santa Monica from projects in surrounding jurisdictions.” (Circulation Goal T15.4). This is especially so here, where as discussed below, this project FEIR estimates that the Casden project will generate 12,000 to 14,000 new daily vehicle trips at our doorstep. Our City must take this obligation seriously, as it did when it expressed its deep concerns about the unacceptable traffic impacts of the massive Bundy Village Project at Olympic and Bundy on 15 intersections bordering or within the City of Santa Monica. Santa Monica’s comments indicated where the impacts were too severe and would need mitigation and also required Santa Monica’s agreement on how traffic would be mitigated.

Every day, a new column, plus you never know what Robin will dig up in the wine country north of Rome, so please check back daily. By Steve Levesque When Mr. Robin Leach asked me to write a guest column for him, I was honored. I think I might even pilot my Rolls Royce and Ferrari around Las Vegas because of the influence of his hit TV series Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. The only problem is that I’m neither rich nor famous. My cars are from the 1970s and ’80s, and a new Toyota costs more then I paid for the ’75 Roller or ’84 Mondial Cabriolet. But, hey, I’m living the Robin Leach lifestyle -- just a couple decades too late. Not only am I not rich, but my longtime profession as an entertainment publicist also is to make other people famous -- and that usually leads to increased revenue for them. Before I launched my L.A. and Las Vegas-based firm Luck Media & Marketing, I worked for one of the real legends and characters in entertainment PR: Lee Solters.

DEASY, Ph.D. Superintendent of Schools ENRIQUE G. BOULL’T Chief Operating Officer JOHN STERRITT Director, Environmental Health and Safety April 14, 2014 My La Department of City Planning City of Los Angeles 200 N. Spring Street Room 667, MS 395 Los Angeles, CA 90012. Sent via Electronic Mail SUBJECT: LAUSD COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (Draft EIR) CITY OF LOS ANGELES MOBILITY PLAN 2035 Presented below are comments submitted on behalf of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), Office of Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS), regarding the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the City’s Mobility Plan 2035 (Mobility Plan). Overall, LAUSD is supportive of the Mobility Plan, which aligns in goals and potential environmental, health and safety benefits with many LAUSD programs and policies. We would encourage an ongoing dialogue and cooperation between the City of Los Angeles and LAUSD to accomplish these goals and realize the potential benefits. Of particular relevance to LAUSD schools within the City are the issues related to pedestrian safety and mobility as it pertains to so-called “vulnerable users”, which should include students. In summary, LAUSD requests that proximity and utility to school-based populations be a key consideration as the City prioritizes projects to be implemented, especially those designed to achieve the following goals: 100-1 x Improve safety and increase overall walk-ability through targeted enhancements at 50 locations annually.
