This page is for some recent work.  It's by no means comprehensive; it's probably not very up-to-date.  I add to it when I can.  Additionally, my LA Weekly archive is here.  My LA Times archive is here. A kind of CityWatch archive is here; my column appears there on Fridays; more recent columns are on the left.  A taped interview from 2013 is here.  An interview from 2012 is here.  An interview from 2006 is here.  &c.
