The native of southern California-whom the author calls a "Procal"-inhabits the area of Los Angeles and its environs. He came to California because he was tired of something-usually cold weather-and he has become the most hobby- and leisure-conscious citizen in the U.S., devoted as he is to his barbecue, his swimming pool, his beaches, his deserts and his television set. Cynthia Hobart Lindsay describes a long list of Procal habits and habitats: his outrageous driving-which seems to be the most marked manifestation of his "restlessness"; the Sunset Strip which is frequented by the closest thing to a southern California beatnik; Hollywood parties; the penchant for the occult; Forest Lawn Cemetery-which also serves the community as an artistic and cultural center; the out-of-bounds areas-notably Pasadena; and the most recent complexity-the Dodgers.
