  Future’s name topped the bill on Day 1 of the inaugural Real Street Festival but his headliner status didn’t slow the flow of fans to the exits by the time he was halfway through his closing set in Anaheim on Saturday.
  Maybe it was fatigue — the day was long and hot, and overheated fans were dropping like beats in the mid-afternoon sun. Or Meek Mill should be credited as co-headliner — his penultimate set had a bigger crowd and more enthusiasm.

  As California builds its capacity to fight the Leviathan that is the Trump administration, does it risk turning our state government into a Leviathan of our own?
  This unhappy question occurred to me while reading Gary Gerstle’s recent history, “Liberty and Coercion: The Paradox of American Government.” The book examines United States governance by putting our 50 peculiar institutions — our states — at the heart of the narrative.
