Advice for Jews and Other LoversAdvice for Jews and Other Lovers

RonnaBev TRonna Glickman and Beverly Ginsburg are the authors of You'll Do a Little Better Next Time: A Guide to Marriage and Remarriage for Jewish Singles. The book is really, really hard to come by. We saw it in a second-second-hand book shop in a not-very-nice neighborhood in Istanbul, but it cost 3 Lira so we didn't buy it. We've asked Ronna & Bev to advise our readers on their relationship problems.

The Vision and Art of Shinjo ItoThe Vision and Art of Shinjo Ito

Parinirvana TLast night, the preview party for The Vision and Art of Shinjo Ito was the quintessential Westside art event. People in traditional Japanese robes (and those cool split-toe shoes), people with pink hair, people in fedoras, and a Shinjo cocktail with sake and champagne. What could be more Buddhist?

A Little Tundra MusicA Little Tundra Music

Tagaq TMy roommate in college was a violist, and he was the first to introduce me to Kronos Quartet.

Formed by the violent intersection of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, Tomales Bay is a thin strip of blue that separates the Point Reyes Peninsula from the mainland. Surrounding the bay are forests thick with bishop pine, bay laurel, and oak trees; gently rolling grasslands decorated with grazing elk, contented cattle, and wildflowers; and tiny communities whose residents gather for organic coffee and yoga at places like Toby’s Feed Barn . In the 1950s, developers threatened the tranquillity of it all with plans to fill the beaches with homes—in one development, 1,000 of them.

Do the DerbyDo the Derby

Navigating our biggest horse race of the year doesn’t have to be a trial. Here’s how to do it right

1. On Your Marks Going to the track can be intimidating, but there’s no better way to get acquainted than by hitting the Santa Anita Derby. On April 5 about 55,000 spectators gather at the storied Arcadia track for a day of racing that includes the most important West Coast prep contest for next month’s Kentucky Derby. Attendees used to don fancy hats and neckties, but baseball caps and jeans are now de rigueur. Bring as much cash as you’re willing to lose, along with enough for admission, parking, and refreshments (ATMs are expensive). Opt for the $4 lots; the $10 valet will leave you waiting.
