A number of effort were made to show that Clinton was a fraud and only grandstanding to promote himself and his cafeterias, but the corruption was undeniable in the long run. The Los Angeles Times endorsed Shaw, but the electorate voted to thrown him out of office and elected superior court judge Fletcher Bowron, a Clinton ally, to the mayor’s office. Both men were known as “reformers” and Bowron went to work cleaning up the system.

‘What have we done?’ Lawyer describes shock at possible role in Trump’s 2016 victory

Clinton, a former Arkansas governor, was known as the first baby boomer president and served two terms in the White House from 1993 to 2001. Clinton was diagnosed with a urological infection that turned into a blood infection, aides said. Though some media outlets said Clinton had sepsis — a life-threatening response by the body to an infection that can result in tissue damage and organ failure — aides said the former president was never in septic shock, the most severe and deadly stage of sepsis.

If you are hell-bent on getting inside, you can contact the owners of the home via their website. The home of the founder of Clifton’s cafeteria, the house was designed in 1928 by the architect Arthur W. Larson for its original owner-builder. In April, Hunter Biden’s lawyers asserted that Ziegler’s recusal campaign against Vera was not unlike Trump’s campaign against Bill Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks in the Trump v. Hillary Clinton RICO lawsuit. The plaintiff called the case “instructive,” as Almadani did in her ruling.

Only a few Frank Lloyd Wright buildings are accessible to the general public. And even then, these sometimes difficult-to-maintain structures are closed for renovations. The Clinton family's five generations[18] as California restaurateurs began when David Harrison Clinton came to Los Angeles from Missouri in 1888 and purchased the Southern Hotel and its dining room in downtown Los Angeles.

He developed the George D. Sturges House in Brentwood in 1939, the only true example of a Usonian-style house in southern California. Pearce House built in 1950 in the San Gabriel Mountains just outside LA has a Usonian feel to it. From Taliesin West, Wright's winter home, Wright developed another style, desert rubble construction. Desert rubble construction uses rough stones and concrete that are shaped with a wooden form. Just outside LA, in Malibu, Wright created the ​Arch Oboler Gatehouse (1940), utilizing this style. If you are a fan of architect Frank Lloyd Wright or of great architecture in general, his California creations can be the focus of some great day trips.

In this series, called “The New West,” I’m exploring the reasons — economic, demographic, political — for that change. That political base has freed Democrats to compete in the battlegrounds of the Midwest and reach for states like Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia that were once well beyond the party’s grasp. Bill Clinton was busy filling Cabinet positions and shaping his economic agenda when a memo landed from a team of political advisors. Although Clinton was still more than a month away from becoming president, the topic was his reelection nearly four years off. After living in the house for 38 years, the couple donated it to the university in 1975. The Hanna-Honeycomb house is open just twice a year for public tours, at Stanford’s Heritage Services discretion.

In 1939, the founders of Clifton's remodeled the restaurant to change it from a conventional dining establishment to a more exotic setting and renamed it "Clifton's Pacific Seas". The exterior and interior were decorated with 12 waterfalls, volcanic rock, and tropical foliage.[27] Tiki historian Sven Kirsten claims it had a "sherbert-gushing volcano". The men reconciled, and Clinton was described as the “explainer in chief” as he delivered a rousing speech calling for Obama’s reelection during the 2012 Democratic National Convention. He also partnered with Republicans, notably the late former President George H.W. Bush, on fundraising efforts to benefit survivors of an Indian Ocean tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina, which killed more than 1,800 Americans in 2005.

He also reported from the White House and Capitol Hill during the George H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations. Kantor became the national chairman of Clinton’s campaign and was among those seeing political opportunity in the state, despite its history of favoring Republicans. In 1988, Bush — Reagan’s vice president — defeated Democrat Michael Dukakis, by a less-than-overwhelming 51% to 48%. In 1992, Arkansas’ five-term governor became the first Democratic presidential candidate in nearly three decades to carry California, the political birthplace of Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Few, if any, considered Clinton’s victory in California the start of a political realignment; he won just 46% of the vote. The Ennis House is privately owned (it was last sold in 2019 to cannabis entrepreneurs Robert Rosenheck and Cindy Capobianco for $18 million) and is currently not open to the public for visits.

David's son Edmond settled in San Francisco, where he and his wife Gertrude became co-owners of a group of cafeteria-style restaurants named Dennets. In the Trump v. Clinton case, Middlebrooks refused to recuse himself, writing that he had “never met or spoken with” the Clintons. Thereafter, Trump attorneys sought the judge’s disqualification a second time, this time claiming “politically charged language in the Court’s recent opinions and the extrajudicial factual research performed by the Court” created the “appearance of bias.” That second recusal attempt also failed. The only clubhouse designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1923 had remained in blueprint and concept only. Then, in 2001, Wright's idea came to life when it was constructed posthumously as the Nakoma Resort in the North Lake Tahoe region of California.

On Tuesday, while visiting longtime friends in Orange County, the former president felt fatigued and was admitted to the intensive care unit at UC Irvine Medical Center that evening. Clinton walked out of the hospital with his wife shortly after 8 a.m., shook hands with Amin and flashed a thumbs up at photographers gathered there. At the time, Clinton wrote in his autobiography, Southern California constituted the world’s sixth-largest economy. So helping resuscitate the region was vital to the nation’s overall recovery. Once solidly Republican, the West has become political bedrock for Democrats.

In 1915, oil heiress and socialite Aline Barnsdall approached Wright to commission a theater. As the two schemed up ways to make Barnsdall’s dreams into a reality, plans expanded to include commercial shops, an artist residence, cinema, two guesthouses, and a residence for Barnsdall—only the guesthouses and main residence were ever built. She requested that the hollyhock, her favorite flower, be incorporated into the design of the house. Today, visitors can find the flower (which can be easily spotted by its notched petals) in the home’s textiles, furniture, decorative glass, and stonework.
