...already have bought the Queen Mary for $3,450,000 for use as a waterfront museum and hotel, and have contracted to build a 3,500-seat A.A.U. pool where the U.S. Olympic trials will be held next year. It is all in line with Long Beach's proud boast of being the "Riviera of the West...
...often the artist's escape. Such was the case of Charlotte Bronte, the most prolific of the Brontë sisters, who flowered briefly in England during the 1840s with strange, powerful novels and poetry. Charlotte was shy and ugly, proud and ambitious.

Henry worked his way West, signed on with a paving contractor, established his own company at 32, and lined up his first contract-for two miles of street in Vancouver. Because speed was worth money, he always made it a point to finish jobs ahead of time; on a California paving contract he laid a mile a week instead of the usual two miles a month, was constantly visited...
