   Is it, now.  I lived in Newport Beach from, let's see, from 1955   
   to 1960, and it wasn't particularly expensive then.  Maybe it was   
   in the process of getting that way and I just didn't notice, for   
   there were tales of the children of movie stars living there, who   
   had more money than taste (which is why the girls had to wear   
   rather subfusc uniforms).  But I never met any of them.
