It’s the last of a breed that once defined Santa Monica–not the upscale “shopper’s paradise” that now draws herds of tourists, but the beach resort that the town still purports to be, a retreat from the baking settlements deeper in the Los Angeles basin.There were once about 200 such cottages dotting the sandy sprawl that was more of a frontier town than a magnet for pricey boutiques.

They can be well preserved, as if a clerk had gone for coffee and left his work on his desk. He famously declared in his acceptance speech at the 1988 Republican National Convention: “Read my lips. Even though we’ve been losing, we’ve still been staying positive.

Gonzalez (32-4, 28) knocked Johnson down in the fourth round and knocked him out at 1:08 of the eighth.*In a preliminary fight, undefeated heavyweight Calvin Brock improved to 28-0 with 22 knockouts by knocking out Zuri Lawrence (20-11-4) at 2:58 of the sixth round of a scheduled 10-rounder.Brock delivered a crushing left hook that sent Lawrence down with such force that his head bounced three times on the canvas.
