The force that binds them together, the soul of California, is the search for a better life carried on by 20 million individuals, a tenth of the U.S. population. The will-o'-the-wisp?Californism?propels the matron to the massage parlor, impels the petitioner or protester to demonstrate against smog or close a campus...
