The lively history of the all-American city that invented listener-sponsored radio, California cui-sine, the lie detector, the atom bomb, the wet suit, the hot tub, and yuppies; that pioneered independent living for disabled people, school integration, free speech, women's rights, the preservation of urban wild lands, modern-day crime fighting, and Prohibition; that commercialized LSD; that welcomed artists, dancers, poets, preachers, prophets, and homeless people; that supported both communists and socialists; that went from "the Athens of the Pacific" to the "People's Republic" . . .
