I’m sure there’s a joke here someplace.

Rosalind Wyman was a bright, young politician and a driving force in
bringing the Dodgers to Los Angeles. The paper profiled the City
Council member as a Times woman of the year, noting brightly that "she
is quite a woman."

"The dark-haired, more-green-than-brown-eyed young woman … wants a
first-class zoo for the city, more cultural assets and greater
improvements in the central district," wrote Cordell Hicks.

Wyman put it this way: "A city must grow or stand still. Los Angeles
is growing. An opera house in a MUST. Those who appreciate opera should
have it. … I like football better than baseball, too, but that does
not mean to me that there should not be an opera house or a Dodger
team."
