  2. Hugo Chavez: Admired and despised by readers

    For just as many reasons readers found to sneer at Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, who <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-hugo-chavez-20130306,0,3058426.story">died Tuesday</a> after a lengthy battle with cancer, others found reasons to praise the late strongman. While several readers slammed Chavez for behaving like a dictator and encouraging a paranoid dislike of the United States in his country and elsewhere, more expressed admiration for the late president's focus on lifting his people out of poverty and illiteracy and standing up to U.S. domination in Latin America.

  5. Tara Kolla, L.A's down-to-earth urban farmer

    Tara Kolla was born in Inglewood but grew up in Europe. She came back to Los Angeles, to a half-acre Silver Lake plot, where she decided to try her hand at "urban farming." Her neighbors objected, so now she mostly works other people's land, and works to further the cause. We met in Hidden Canyon, the aptly named acres in Glassell Park whose owners invited Kolla to cultivate and grow market flowers. Here are rows and beds of hyssop, black-eyed Susans, honeywort, zinnias, mums and ornamental cotton flowers. I plucked a boll of what I'll call "Glassell Park long staple." Because of people like Kolla, laws have changed to permit farming, of a sort, all around town. What was once the single most profitable agricultural county in the nation may just be coming back, one urban plot at a time.
