But it's a fun book, the annotated. And as for Bullock's Wilshire, it was/is an amazing building architecturally and interior decorating-wise. It's no longer a department store, but a law school. I think they give tours on occasion and they might be worth checking out. Paul D.

And Rob, there is actually a "Gay Panic Defense," in legal terms; the murderers of Matthew Sheppard claimed it in their case (and it has since been claimed that they didn't.) Wow! How's that for a segue?Jeff Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316081079528920123noreply@blogger.com
