Is there really such a thing as a Russian yuppie?

“Then I watch most powerful country in world drain down, going from big hill at very high speed downhill. Americans are sometimes naive. They trust Soviet government to honor signature on international agreement. It is joke. They trust too much. Reagan brings oxygen to whole country. He brings new life and pride.”

"I enjoy a cold beer or two after work — except that I don't like to drink in bars."

The king of Moonlight Beach

“A sheriff told me once they used to use us for training, because they knew we were nonviolent. If they had some rookie who'd never busted anybody before, they’d bring him down to Moonlight and tell him, ‘Okay, wait until they get drunk, then go arrest them.’ That sheriff said I was the first person he ever put cuffs on, and he’s a lieutenant now.”

Jack Orr: "I don’t think people like Roger Hedgecock. I mean, you either love him or you hate him."

"The museum is, as one former curator put it, “a perfect mirror of La Jolla”: plenty of Warhols (Gucci), Christos (Mercedes), Lewitts (Calvin Klein), and Mangolds (Perrier).

The art of being Lefty Adler

In the early days it was not unheard of for him to tell rich La Jolla socialites to fuck off. Among the fraternity of museum directors, the adjective most often used to describe Adler is “outrageous.” He admits to being insecure, irascible, temperamental, and capricious. “If I’m mean I'm mean,” he shrugs. “If I'm awful I’m awful. I can’t change me.”

A former boyfriend of Patrick tried to run her over in the Palace parking lot and Herrera came to her rescue.

He brought punk rock to San Diego

“They don’t like me because I’m not using union bands. But most of them are older guys who are totally turned off by new-wave music. The bands I use don’t have enough money to get in the union. We give them the chance to do original music and build up a following.”
