In turn, the city transformed them into something they had not been previously ard could not have become without it-men who within a few generations produced more thought and works of beauty and value than the race had ever seen before...
...West. Instead, it has remained a charming, eccentric and physically beguiling minor metropolis. Los Angeles, in the unlikely event that it ever should overcome its centrifugal forces, may yet become the Western colossus.
