  • John Rabe outside the the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. "New Frontiers: The Many Worlds of George Takei" opens Sunday.
    The many worlds of George Takei
    The remarkable George Takei gets the whole hour. We get an exclusive preview of JANM's new George Takei exhibit, talk with George himself about his life and times and his new role in the Sondheim musical “Pacific Overtures,” hear from "To Be Takei's" director that George is NOT a performer at heart (WTF?!), and hear George and John Rabe sing. Maybe. If there's time.
  • An undated view of Angels Flight, the historic funicular the climbs to Bunker Hill in downtown LA.
    Angels Flight to fly again?
    Angels Flight to be back by Labor Day ... Back when cops weren’t supposed to smoke in uniform, and when a stolen car might be traced by the make of its battery or speedometer ... A Hammer show on an artist overshadowed by Pollack, De Kooning, and Rothko. (Photo: LA Public Library's Security Pacific National Bank Collection)
