King-Harbor's recovery could take years
Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Prospects for the Willowbrook hospital reopening are grim, officials say. L.A. County's bureaucracy is seen as one impediment. The once-steadfast promise to reopen Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Medical Center by February 2009 has given way in recent weeks to the bleak prediction among some officials that it could be years before the linchpin in south Los Angeles County healthcare is resurrected.
Chanticleer tours California's mission era music
Sun, 11 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700
The renowned 'orchestra of voices' is taking its dozen male singers on the road -- the state's historic Camino Real that links the mission sites. MOST California schoolchildren learn the basic facts about the state's mission history in the fourth grade. Established from 1769 to 1823 by Franciscan monks from Spain to spread the Roman Catholic faith among the area's Native American population, the series of strategic-religious outposts spanned 650 miles of California coastline, from San Diego to Sonoma, providing Spain with a powerful presence on the Pacific frontier. Today, these monuments are among the state's oldest buildings and most popular tourist destinations.
Debate grows with Philippine population
Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Critics say policies of the Roman Catholic Church are to blame for condemning many to poverty. Clerics say poverty is the culprit. Ask Josephine Gonzalez how many children a family should have and the stick-figured 31-year-old mother answers without hesitation. "I only wanted three," she says, trying to soothe the naked baby boy who tugs at her ragged dress.
