  4. On the Town: Toddlers get their time with Rose Court

    The Tournament of Roses Queen and her court have made some 150 appearances since last October through New Year’s Day. But this day’s appearance was strictly for the kids. On Saturday (Jan. 12), the queen and her princesses showed up at the Hastings Branch Library in Pasadena.

  5. Author of book on man who created Philip Marlowe to speak at Huntington Library

    One of the best-received Los Angeles-themed books of 2007 was Judith Freeman’s “The Long Embrace: Raymond Chandler and the Woman He Loved” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux).

  8. Art review: Unearthing a rare treasure at Huntington Library

    The San Gabriel Mountains rise to imposing heights behind a tiny rural outpost. An alpine lake in the Sierra lies still in a frame of snowdrifts, rocky peaks and moss-covered stones. A narrow path disappears into a field of yellow flowers stretching toward blue sky.
