A biography of Franklin D Murphy (1916-994). It delivers the story of how Murphy, as chancellor of UCLA and later as chief executive of the "Times Mirror" media empire, was able to influence academia, the media, and cultural foundations to reshape a fundamentally provincial city. It also brings to light the influence of LA's powerful families.
