After celebrating a Flyers' victory at a bar with teammates, Lindbergh, legally drunk, hit a concrete wall on the way home in his Porsche.

Pereira, who tried to encourage style and balance in sprawling Southern California, once said, "We have come to accept with enthusiasm the unprofessional, unappreciative, unskillful butchery of the land that goes under the name of planning."
