The Carlos Cerda is a fine writer and he's crafted a very good book here. The advantage here is that we can concentrate on what happens to non-fringe, everyday lives and relationships after a great crisis. A crisis that was indeed a holocaust. What I gleaned here from Cerda is that people are just as petty and unsatisfied whether or not their country has been a victim of mass state-sponsored murder. This isn't a negative against the author, however. La Casa Vacia crafted realistic characters, characters that have grown up La Casa Vacia post-materialist dreams couched in philosophy studies and philosophers, characters that have bought completely the morality sold to them by the monsters that later perpetrate the atrocity, only to complain about it later when morality is no shield from the horror, no excuse, and no harbinger of justice.

  • Legends of the Surfer Subculture: Part Two
    Topics & Comments [As contributions to this section, the Editors welcome discussions, comments, or collections that are not of conventional article length, topic, or organization.] Legends of the Surfer Subculture: Part Two Tanis Thorne Coinciding with the release of the movie Gidget,' a new era in surfing was ushered in with the development of the light and durable, poly- urethane-foam and fiberglass-covered surfboard. Thousands of Southern California teenagers rushed to enjoy the new-found opportunity at their doorstep and to partake of the radical social identity that went along with surfing. The folklore of the youthful surfers of this period reflects their rebelliousness; with time and maturity, it grew to incorporate the per- vasive themes of political protest, drug-use, and Thoreauian naturalism. For many, surfing was one of the few remaining outlets from overly structured civilization; it was "the most unexplored, unjaded, un- pushbuttoned, pidgeon-holed trip."2 The renowned surfer, Phil Ed- wards, says surfing was first popularized in the United States by rebels -bands of kids on the run-seeking to escape organization and the standardization of man.8 Confirming that the first surfers were bohemians, the editor of Surfer magazine, Steve Pezman, comments that they were deliberately as "out- rageous" as they could be. The rebels would strip off their clothes at parties, wear Nazi uniforms in public for shock value, do "BA's" ("bare-assing") out car windows or next to passenger trains, and other "RF's" ("rat-finking"-i.e., capers, tricks, or practical jokes generally asocial in nature). Two popular stories of "capers" of the day were the "Famous Hood Ornament Trick" and the ubiquitous "Popcorn Box Caper." In the former anecdote, a naked surfer posed gracefully as the hood ornament of a car, while he was ceremoniously chauffeured around a busy, drive- in restaurant.

Its foreground is the sea. Its background the hills. We will use for our pigments flowers and shrubs and trees and red tile and white plaster. Our streets shall follow the contour of the ground. Our beach shall always be free from hurdey- gurdies and defilement. We believe beauty to be an asset as well as gold and silver …. I do not want people to be repulsed and sent away by ugliness in San Clemente as they have been by ugliness in other communities. This will be a place where man can breathe! The dissatisfied of other communities find rest and hope and peace here.” ~ Ole Hanson, visionary founder of San Clemente, The Spanish Village This land that Ole Hanson picked out of all California to found and build his dream city on in the 1920s had long held attraction. Its beauty had been recounted by members of the first Portola expedition a century and a half before; its desirability was seen by Father Crespi when he stood on that high hill in 1769 and gazed upon the picturesque land stretching gently down to meet the ocean.

KISIEL III* ABSTRACT Increasing intensity in the use of ocean spaces and coastal development presents a threat to recreational uses of the ocean, such as surfing, diving, and snorkeling. Ocean recreational use brings an immense economic benefit to coastal communities. Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning provides a way to protect ocean recreational uses that cannot be replicated elsewhere. There are current legal authorities that permit state and federal agencies to conduct Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning. However, there are im- provements that could be made. This Article makes several recommendations of ways to implement Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning to protect ocean recreational resources from destruction and degradation from competing ocean uses and coastal development.

The agreement presents an opportunity for TCA to consider a number of transportation project ideas including State Route 241 – Interstate 5 connection options while protecting sensitive lands and cultural resources within the San Mateo Creek watershed, including San Onofre State Beach, the Richard and Donna O’Neill Conservancy, and the Acjachemen/Juaneño village of Panhe. “TCA is very pleased to join over a dozen environmental organizations in this unprecedented outcome, which underscores the collaboration between the Agency’s leadership and leaders of the environmental community,” stated Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency Chairman Craig Young. “For the past two years, TCA and its team of experts have engaged in thoughtful and productive discussions about the future of improving transportation mobility and the importance of protecting environmentally sensitive areas. This agreement is a baseline for achieving both of those objectives,” added Transportation Corridor Agencies Chief Executive Officer Mike Kraman.
