From SLATE's news summary: >Sons of Beaches ... The LA [TIMES] ...
[reports] the latest from Malibu's Broad Beach, where there have long
been battles between public beachgoers and waterfront home-owners. The
law says that all sand up to the mean high-tide mark is public
property and thus open to anybody who wants to hang there. That whole
notion of public access grates on residents — who include Goldie Hawn,
Steven Spielberg, and Dustin Hoffman. So, the neighbors got together
and did what self-respecting liberals would do: They devised a
redistribution plan — for sand. They hired bulldozers to "scoop up
tons of public beach" and build big berms in its place. The local
coastal commission's chief of enforcement described herself as
"shocked." <
In the name of Jesuit intellectualism, Goldie Hawn received an
honorary degree from Loyola Marymount University last year.
