From the gold-rush camps and Hollywood to the flower children and Silicon Valley, California has long been the place where the newest manifestations of the American dream first sprouted. In Orange County, the dream seems to be driven by the lure of both success and excess. With 42 miles of beckoning oceanfront, this California-style Riviera is a 38-sq.-mi. wedge of land stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Santa Ana Mountains and harboring the thriving towns of Newport Beach (pop. 67,000), Costa Mesa (88,000) and Irvine (89,000). It includes a constellation of some...

The rewards are not limited to locker-room privileges and the honor of being addressed as "Mr." by an All-Pro tackle. Most N.F.L. stadiums are filled at kickoff time, and last year the owners of the 28 franchises divvied up some $1.2 billion in TV contracts.
