"Welcome to the City of Crooks."
That's how author Mike Davis (pictured) greeted his First Amendment Lunch audience this weekend in San Diego, beginning a speech that exposed the corruption and "civic mayhem" lurking beneath the tranquil and sun-bleached veneer of "Enron by the Sea." Members can now download a copy of Davis' speech -- which included a paean to the city's alternative press -- from the AAN Library.
