Hello List,
I stumbled upon this list, searched the archives and decided
to join, because I hope somebody here can answer my
question.
I am a political scientist from Berlin trying to revive my
long ( too long?) dormant PhD about the policies of
homelessness in Berlin and Los Angeles.
Back on research trips to Los Angeles I found an article by
James M. Cain from 1933 when he apparrently just moved to
California.
I just cannot find the Title of that article or the magazine
in my files (bad housekeeping indeed, I am moving all my
referneces to bibtex now, but ....)
The only hint I can offer is the following quote on page 279
about the Chamber of Commerce in LA:
"It is a sort of government outside the government, bearing
about the same relation to the body politic as the Communist
Party does in Russia"
That is a nice one ;-)
I also have a note, that he praises cheap food in California
and did not seem to be aware (or much concerned) of the
looming Depression, other than that - nada, zilch,
niente
If anybody here can point me into the right direction to
locate that reference, I would be most thankful.
Thanks for your attention
/ Jens
