LORENZ HART was a superb lyricist, but he had his failings as a reporter. Hate California? Cold and damp? Just tell that to the citizens of the nation's most populous and most fascinating state, glowing with sunlight, blessed by beauty, rich beyond counting. In its cover story this week, TIME examines its people-who they are, what they seek, how California affects the U.S., present and future...

What was the origin of this fiery outburst, which Gold figures was 100 times more powerful than ordinary sunlight?

Forever the superpatriot, he once refused to let a bandleader play his favorite tune because "everybody would've had to stand up."
