WHAT THE CAMERA SAW / THE WEEK AND MORE

LOUNGE CHAIRS

Marcus McGowan of the Bend Bandits kicks back at a double-A baseball game in Mission Viejo, testing an adjustable mattress set out as a promotion. Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan melts into his chair at an MTA board meeting. And Terry and Bill Lang settle in for a band concert in Thousand Oaks.
