...reluctant celebrity, however, more at home in musico-philosophical discussion than in talking about his personal life. Married to the Welsh violinist Jane Price since August 1991, he has a nine-month-old daughter, Ella Aneira, and lives in the elegant west Los Angeles district of Brentwood, as well as in London and Stockholm. His personal style runs toward Scandinavian informality; after a concert, he can't wait to shower, change into a sweater and jeans and kick back with a cold beer. He speaks five languages fluently. These days he uses mostly English and Swedish; it is his Finnish...
...agreed to retire at the end of June. It was too late. On April 29, 3 1/2 hours after the verdict in the King case was announced, Gates left his office at about 6:30 p.m. to drive 11 miles to attend a small political fund raiser in affluent Brentwood. The cause was dear to his heart: opposition to a Los Angeles ballot measure that would, at last, make the police chief more accountable to elected officials.

In important ways, it does, of course. But out across the city grids lie Koreatown and Chinatown; and Watts, for so long a black enclave, is changing into a barrio. Up north on the Berkeley campus...
...write, mingle and argue; a separate building devoted to harnessing computers on behalf of art-historical truth; an auditorium; a restaurant; and a huge state-of-the-art facility for conservators. All this will be set amid gardens and fountains on a positively Olympian site -- 110 acres abutting the Brentwood neighborhood, on a hill just half a mile north of Sunset Boulevard -- with panoramas to die for. "You can see downtown, you can see UCLA, Century City, Santa Monica and the ocean," says Meier, who has lived half the time in a house on the site since...
