Water - Los Angeles Aqueduct - Clippings

50+ items: material from across several decades, from LAT, memos, letters and two issues of Heritage (a publication of Southern California Library for Social Studies & Research) from 1991 and 1992, on the aqueduct from the Owens Valley along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada to Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley. Includes some material on the film Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson, the plot of which owed a great deal to actual events between 1905 and the 1920s. Some persons in The Times hierarchy stood to profit from the water plan and the newspaper pushed it strongly.
