Action by Yaroslavsky called into question
      My wife gave me a report on her experience of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors meeting she personally attended on the Heschel project reported on in The Acorn, and I am mad as hell.

Take care of pets in weather
      It is 35 to 40 degrees outside, but you don't mind as you are in your warm home or under the down comforter. How about Fido and Kitty?
