• Being accused of making money by selling sex in Hollywood, home of the casting couch and the gratuitous nude scene, is so rich with irony that it's a better subject for a comic novel than a column.... On one coast the cops are busting sex workers on Eighth Avenue, dragging them downtown to night court where they pay the fine and go right back to their corner; on another they're charging Heidi Fleiss with pandering in a town in which the verb is an art form.

• We've concocted a system where local trips take an auto. That's our biggest tragedy. Streetcars, such as those used in Portland's Pearl District, and elevated people movers, like those in downtown Miami, are moving people from rail stations to their final destinations. But a new concept, PRT, may help revolutionize urban transportation, providing a cost-effective way to get people from train stations to where they need to go.

• Patrick empezó a conducir muy rápido, y justo antes de llegar al túnel. Sam se levantó, y el viento convirtió su vestido en olas del mar. Cuando llegamos al túnel, todo el sonido fue aspirado, y fue reemplazado por una canción en el reproductor de cintas. Una hermosa canción llamada "Landslide". Cuando salimos del túnel, Sam pegó un grito muy divertido, y ahí estaba. El centro de la ciudad. Luces en los edificios y todo lo que te hace maravillarte. Sam se sentó y empezó a reír. Patrick empezó a reír. Yo empecé a reír. Y en ese momento, juro que éramos infinitos.

• My parents had come from Mexico, a short road in my imagination. I felt myself as coming from a caramelized planet, an upside-down planet, pineapple-cratered. Though I was born here, I came from the other side of the looking glass, as did Alice, though not alone like Alice. Downtown I saw lots of brown people. Old men on benches. Winks from Filipinos. Sikhs who worked in the fields were the most mysterious brown men, their heads wrapped in turbans. They were the rose men. They looked like roses.
