THE CULT OF THE L.A. BODY
- Share via
Boy! And I thought the January, 1988, issue of Atlantic had provided the most in-depth examination of Los Angeles that I’d read in recent years. But no! While covering the social, political, economic and environmental aspects of our city, that magazine somehow forgot to write about the L.A. body. Thank you for your supreme journalistic contribution in that regard.
