...Assistant. Serene as a smogless moment in the city, Buffie and Norman start their day with a swim in the Chandler pool behind the square, concrete-block family mansion in the Hancock Park section of town.

Crosby and associates constructed a stage shell with an up-sloping flying roof and forward-sweeping wings designed to kill the echo off the rocky hills.

Dozens of California swimming pools, their bottoms knocked out to prevent water from collecting, have been buried far beneath the new roads, a possible puzzle for future archaeologists. A classic case of inconvenience occurred when a new road cut off a farmer's privy from his house, forcing...
