Candidate responds
Dear ER:
Election season is here! On March 8 we’ll elect two candidates to Manhattan Beach City Council. I’m honored to have the strong support of our residents and community leaders, many of whom I’ve met knocking on doors and at events throughout our City. I’ve enjoyed our lively discussions about our challenges and how we’ll work together to make Manhattan Beach an even better place to live. I look forward to continuing our dialogue as your Councilwoman!
The post-Egypt chest thumping has begun. Some pundits claim that the rise of the seeking of democracy in totalitarian states (which we, by the way, have long supported) is the long term result of the foreign policies initiated by the newly beatified St. Ronald of Reagan.

Kaufman’s newest work, “33 Variations,” with Jane Fonda reprising the role of a Beethoven scholar suffering from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, opened last week at the Ahmanson Theatre.
Some of the best jewelry boxes don’t look like much from the outside; a simple square in white or black, covered with nice fabric or the traditional fuzzy velvet. The blank exterior heightens the sense of anticipation, of opening it to reveal a bauble set on luxurious shining fabric. Let costume jewelry be sold in gaudy boxes that catch the eye better than what is within.
It would be nice to think that restaurants locate in strip malls due to a similar high-minded philosophy, but that’s not the case – they site there because space is cheap, parking plentiful, and it’s where the customers already are. Still, some strip mall places do go all out in interior decoration so that customers who venture within are rewarded.
