For those of us who are not native to Los Angeles yet live here (some for more of our lives than anywhere else), there is a compulsion to define Los Angeles, to get control in some manner of this ever-changing city that is distinguished...

Can comedy save a life?

A few years ago, Marc Maron, a comic of more than 25 years standing, was at his lowest point -- rock bottom -- ready to give up on everything, even his life. Today, he has a just-released new comedy album, This Has to Be Funny...

For 30 years, Michael Schwartz has owned and operated Galerie Michael, an art gallery on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, building, in his own words, "museum-quality collections, one work at a time." Works...

On the afternoon I attended the Annenberg Space for Photography's latest exhibition, "Beauty Culture," I was standing in the dark watching a series of fashion images projected in the digital gallery, when I was distracted by a woman who entered the room. I did a double take, as I recognized...

That Hibbing, Minn., native who was born Robert Allen Zimmerman but has been known as Bob Dylan since he first started performing in New York's Greenwich Village some 50 years ago -- and who has lived in Los Angeles probably longer than anywhere else -- turns 70 on May 24.

2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America (St. Martin's Press) is Albert Brooks' novel (in all senses of the word) take on our not-so-distant future. Anyone familiar with Brooks' films, such as Defending Your Life or Modern Romance, will not...

Who do we have to thank for Hitler's eventual defeat? What was the turning point of World War II? Who, by his actions during the war, inspired Chaim Weizmann and David Ben-Gurion, Israel's early leaders? The answer, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center's stirring new documentary, Walking With Destiny, is...
