How LMU is keeping alive the sad history of Dodger Stadium’s Chavez Ravine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The story of how Chavez Ravine was demolished — and the people who lived there were displaced in the 1950s to build Dodger Stadium — is one of LA’s darkest chapters. Evicting people from their longtime homes and bulldozing the streets on which they had lived, worked, and worshipped for generations would have been bad enough. But to add insult to injury, city planners first cast the vibrant, thriving, largely Mexican-American community as a slum. Then, as now, the operative factors were racism, p
The fragile heart and holiness of ‘Diary of a Country Priest’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Georges Bernanos (1888-1948), the French writer, authored the iconic novel “Diary of a Country Priest” (Grand Central Publishing, $21.99). Born in Paris to a devout Catholic family of craftsmen, Bernanos joined the conservative Action Française movement as a youth. After serving as a soldier in World War I, however, he broke with the movement. At the time, France was deeply divided: conservative monarchists, liberal republicans, anti-Catholic agnostics. Bernanos began noticing the poor and disen
Wondering whether our 15-year-old selves would like where we are today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like it or not, our phones know our age. Every day, my feed features several partly hilarious, partly annoying, and wholly infantilizing articles addressing the fact that I’m old and I apparently have no friends. This sad situation isn’t because I’m a loser or a misfit, the pieces uniformly soothe. Nor, God forbid, does it mean that I’m not a kind, good, generous person. It’s because I’m so generous, kind, and forbearing, in fact, that all along I’ve fooled everyone! Now, finally, I’m claiming m
Why did God choose this man and woman to suffer the stigmata? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Catholicism is nothing if not democratic. We might think of the stigmata, for example, as reserved for spiritual giants like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Padre Pio. The fact is, we never know who the good Lord will choose. Consider Servant of God Rhoda Wise (1888-1948), a Catholic laywoman, wife, and mother from Canton, Ohio. Born to working-class, Protestant parents, Rhoda was the sixth of eight children. Anti-Catholic bias permeated the household. At 16, she suffered a burst appendix. A nurse
If you want weird, wild, and brilliant art, check out the renovated LACMA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Finally, finally, we can drive down Wilshire Boulevard between La Brea and Fairfax unimpeded. After six years of construction and reams of controversy, finally, the $724 million LA County Museum of Art (LACMA) renovation is done. Four buildings were demolished. Three remain: the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, the Resnick Pavilion, and the Pavilion for Japanese Art. But the showpiece, of course, is the new building: the David Geffen Galleries. Floating 30 feet above the ground, thrillingly spanni
