    Pacific Standard Time will be a massive, six-month-long celebration of the LA art scene from the end of World War II until 1980, when artists, musicians and architects who now have international reputations started from scratch to create a free-wheeling alternative to the culture of New York City. We hear what's in store. Also, Phase Two of Metro's Expo Line gets under way in Santa Monica, and is last week's blackout a portent for the future of San Diego? On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, voter ID and the "Battle Before the Battle."
