Squirmy - You may want to judge people on other factors besides looks. Personally, I gave that up around age 15.
I'd suggest that without Ms Sterling you would have even more to pine about. Were all here efforts congruent with what we, the enlightened ones of 2011 would support? Perhaps not. But then again - something is better than nothing.

And she looks like just the sort of person who would do that.
She may have saved the Avila house, but otherwise she marched right along in the mid-century rush to turn Downtown into a giant suburb. |
