Basketball fans who were disappointed with the short NBA season this year have reason to celebrate. The 1999 Summer Pro League will once again be held at Cal State Long Beach.
Cal State Long Beach classrooms will be used this summer for two camps that will teach approximately 950 young students how to be better writers and readers, said Kim Amadore, director of Young Writers’ Camp.
Maxine Merlino, 86, former dean of the School of Arts at Cal State Long Beach and holder of 179 swimming world records, was recently inducted into the Swimmer’s Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
It’s the summer of 1977 in New York City. The days are sweltering, and the steamy nights infuse citizens with a sense of unrest. Disco is at its peak, the cocaine craze is in full swing, and punk rock is beginning to show its bizarre face on the street scene. Blackouts are common place from power failures, and Reggie Jackson is beginning to make things sizzle for the Yankees. Funny men Will Smith (Jim West) and Kevin Kline (Artemus Gordon) team up in Director Barry Sonnenfield’s remake of the ‘60s television series, the “Wild Wild West.” Movie soundtracks are for the commitment phobic. The album is a compilation of many artists so the buyer does not have to make a choice of which singer is more worthy of his or her $15.
