THE CITY Norman Mailer famously said, If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist.
Shia Labeouf had apparently been studying Robert Faturechi, an LA Times reporter covering the American Civil Liberties Union s findings about excessive force in the county jail, for a role that he was going to play in The Company You Keep.
Faturechi wore a thin necktie and a distinctive noirish trench coat, perhaps as protection against the spray of horrible revelations coming out about Sheriff Lee Baca, who Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky of the third district almost always referred to as the greatest Sheriff in America.
