...industrial complex of top firms in aircraft, electronics and research, all attracted by the year-round sunshine. Long considered a sort of cultural desert, the city now boasts some of the nation's top universities, a huge number of intellectual enterprises, and a music center and museum that rival any in the U.S. Of course, it also has its seamy side and the problems that come with growth-and one of the difficulties of solving them is that the average Angeleno seems too busy living and building in the sun to worry much about them...
...still standard fare, but Los Angeles has also acquired restaurants that rival the nation's best, such as Perino's, Scandia, the Bistro and Duke's Glenn Cove. New nightspots are proliferating (the most popular: The Daisy and The Other Place); but there is virtually no such thing as nightclub hopping.

Out of this enriching dialogue has come a generation of photographic imagemakers, who have fixed for all time, as surely as the great artists of the past, the fleeting moment that reflects the whole and stands as the witness...
...falling prey to the Reds, last year promoted a unique experiment in one-party elections: his Tanzania Africa National Union put up two candidates for each post, with the result that several of his own Cabinet ministers were defeated. Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta has overridden the intense tribal rival ries of the Luo and his own Kikuyu and made a national fetish out of harambee (togetherness), winning the good will of most white settlers in the bargain. Even the disappointments have not been total. The personal tyranny of Ghana's Nkrumah has been succeeded by a military regime...
