e Williams’s inspirational story has fascinated historians for the simple
fact that his journey was so improbable. The orphan son of an African Amer
ican fruit-and-vegetable merchant\, he was repeatedly told he had no chanc
e of ever realizing his childhood dream of becoming an architect. And yet\
, he ignored the naysayers to reach the pinnacle of his chosen profession\
, while overcoming widespread discrimination throughout early- to mid-twen
tieth century America. The odds against him succeeding were enormous.

July 7th at 7:00pm. Ken Bernstein\, the Ci
ty Planner for the City of Los Angeles and a national advocate for histori
c preservation shares how Los Angeles has led the nation in historic prese
rvation and shares how other cities can do the same.
\n
Los Ange
les has an image as the “City of the Future”―a city always at the cutting
edge of change―but also as a “throwaway metropolis” that cares little abou
t its history or architectural legacy. Yet the reality is quite different.
Over the past decade\, the City of Los Angeles has developed one of the m
ost successful historic preservation programs in the nation\, culminating
with the completion of the nation’s most ambitious citywide survey of hist
oric resources.

\n
\n\n
\n
It’s 1938 and women
seeking a quick\, no-questions split from their husbands head to the “div
orce capital of the world\,” Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: they have t
o wait six weeks to become “residents.” Many of these wealthy\, soon-to-be
divorcees flock to the Flying Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to their ev
ery need.
\n
Twenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before
his family lost everything in the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an h
onest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing g
ood looks—“Cary Grant in cowboy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying Lea
p’s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everyth
ing he thinks he knows: Nina\, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back f
or her third divorce\, and Emily\, whose bravest moment in life was leavin
g her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.<
/p>\n
A novel about divorce\, marriage\, and everything that comes in be
tween (money\, class\, ambition\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next
Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship c
an save us\, love can destroy us\, and the family we create can be stronge
r than the family we come from.

Having
been approached by many guests\, patrons\, and employees over the years\,
Keith has heard it all. “Two tourists walked up to me and asked how they
could get inside the mansion for the tour. When I told them the interior i
s closed to the public one replied\, ‘Oh\, because we saw a man in period
clothing staring out the window and we thought he was part of the tour.’”
This marks just one encounter of 237 paranormal stories documented at Grey
stone Mansion. Keith spent nearly three years researching the supernatural
activity at the estate. With 86 interviews\, including guests of the park
\, City staff\, police officers\, movie crew personnel\, and janitorial se
rvices\, Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills promises you a riveting histo
ry and ghostly encounters. For more than two decades\, the mystery surroun
ding the strange events taking place in and around Greystone Mansion has b
een suppressed\, ignored\, and disbelieved. Along with rare photographs an
d intriguing details about the landscape and architecture\, Keith delves i
nto the family of Ned and Lucy Doheny\, including the fateful murder/suici
de on the night of February 16\, 1929\, and other unfortunate deaths that
surround these enigmatic grounds that may have stoked the paranormal fire
of activity. “People from all over the world come to visit this iconic loc
ation. They want to peek behind the curtain and observe this ghostly estat
e for themselves. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills will allow them to d
o just that.”

\n
A mode
st but determined young dancer from Glen Rock\, New Jersey\, Rosemary Nove
llino joined the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Company\, the classical danc
e counterpart to the world-famous Rockettes\, in 1966. After a shaky begin
ning\, she danced with the group for twelve years\, eventually becoming it
s Dance Captain and Assistant to the legendary choreographer Peter Gennaro
. In the mid-1970s\, questionable behind-the-scenes changes in Music Hall
management alarmed hundreds of employees\, but no one was prepared for the
official announcement in early 1978\, that Radio City Music Hall was slat
ed to close that April and be demolished.
\n
Drawing upon formerly un
tapped inner strengths\, Rosemary refused to let this happen. She became P
resident of “
The Showpeople’s Committee to Save Radio City Music Hall” and motivate
d fellow workers\, friends\, thousands of Radio City fans around the world
\, New York and national media\, cultural leaders and politicians to suppo
rt the cause. As a result of these efforts\, the Art Deco palace was decla
red a National Historic Landmark. saving not only the building but the job
s and livelihoods of thousands of Music Hall employees on stage and behind
the scenes who have entertained millions to this day. This “heartfelt and
very personal account of that effort\,” says Booklist\, “provides a backs
tage glimpse of the drama that ensued and features a cast of characters th
at includes performers\, politicians\, the media\, and some very heavy hit
ters in the world of New York real estate that will delight readers intere
sted in the performing arts and their history in the U.S.”
