...home to “Inside the Actor’s Studio”) and the myriad film festivals that take place there every year, and the Big Apple emerges as a filmmakers’ mecca, one that any film community away from the cozy confines of the 405 freeway would have trouble thriving under...
Nowhere has the impact of the new policing regime been felt more strongly than in the city's 77th division, which straddles the 110 Freeway five miles south of downtown. In 2002 it was the most violent of all 18 police districts in Los Angeles, with 118 murders in its 12 sq. mi.

Donna Black Bradley, 52, of Los Angeles is living proof. Bradley was driving home from work one evening when she suddenly was unable to read the freeway signs. When her doctor diagnosed diabetes, she felt paralyzed. "Then I said O.K., I got something I got to do here," Bradley says. "I got to change." And change she did. The 5-ft. 7-in. mother and grandmother started eating better and working out on a treadmill several times a week. Her weight dropped from 272 lbs. to 210 lbs., and her fasting glucose fell from 300 mg/dL to 103 mg/dL...
