    Grotesque

    BY SUSAN ESTRICH That’s what the Simon Wiesenthal Center called the assignment given to eighth-grade students in Rialto, CA, to research and write an argumentative essay about whether the Holocaust actually happened or was “merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth.” Who came up with this assignment?

    Columnists Arnold Hamilton - 0

    BY FROMA HARROP VENICE, CA – This beach community is LA’s latest magnet for hip, cool and gentrification. Modest cottages currently sell for an immodest $2 million, even as homeless people, sprawled on nearby lawns, holler for handouts.
