  4. The Crowd: Seeing the light through philanthrophy

    One of the most important charitable and social organizations in Southern California held its annual confab March 28 at the Langham Huntington hotel in Pasadena. The Luminaires' annual spring benefit supporting the renowned Doheny Eye Institute took on the theme of "Seaside Spectacular" for the 38th annual spring celebration, which attracted an important contingent of Orange County citizens helping to raise more than $100,000 for the cause. And that cause, being the restoration of sight for people suffering from all degrees of vision impairment, including blindness, is surely one of the most important areas of scientific research.

  12. 'On Looking' inspires rumination on the influence of perspective

    Several years ago, my daughter, who is now 7, drew a picture of the gym where she was taking gymnastics. My main impression of this gym was that it smelled of dirty socks and that it was a hectic place. But how did my preschooler see it? Her drawing included mats, balance beams, vaulting horses and bars. But she had spent far more time on two less obvious features of her gym. One was the gargantuan and loud fan that the coaches ran during the summer. This fan dominated her drawing, and she had drawn lines showing air rushing from it. The other was the small set of metal bleachers where the parents sat. I was there, helpfully labeled in her childish script, "Mama."
