  1. The Magic Castle's Milt Larsen: Why humans need magic

    Milt Larsen is a master of two kinds of magic. There's the abracadabra kind that his magician parents brought him up on, and the sort he began practicing with his late brother, Bill — the magic of preserving buildings, including the Variety Arts Theater downtown and the Mayfair Music Hall in Santa Monica. The capper is the Magic Castle. Here, 50 years ago, the Larsens — presto-changeo — turned a banker's home into a members-only clubhouse for grown-up magicians and their fans. Larsen has three cable radio shows (old comedy and even older music), but his passion for magic has made his Castle his home.

  11. Dalkey Archive posts world's wackiest job listing

    On Wednesday, the Dalkey Archive Press posted an announcement in its employment section. Founding publisher John O'Brien, it said, will be stepping down. He's been with the press, which is known for publishing books that are avant-garde and experimental, since its inception in the 1980s. O'Brien's departure will be a significant change for the Illinois-based press; in 2009, he told The Times, "the press is purely an expression of my aesthetic interests and what I admire and like to read."
