Some of the Arechigas are still in Chavez Ravine. Evidently it takes time to build new coops for all their chickens. The idea of keeping 200 chickens near downtown must have infuriated civic leaders who wanted to show how progressive Los Angeles was.

The Rt. Rev. Arthur Lichtenberger, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States, says: "Nuclear energy is part of God's created world."

The Episcopal church was collecting money to buy a nuclear reactor for the Anglican University of St. Paul in Tokyo. The idea of preaching from the Episcopal pulpit about the benefits of nuclear energy is almost beyond belief.
