The Racquet Club was a resort in Palm Springs, California, founded by actors Charles Farrell and Ralph Bellamy, which opened on December 15, 1934. Originally designed to include two tennis courts, it expanded to include additional courts, the Bamboo Room bar, bungalows, and a swimming pool.

Julie Copeland was the longtime hostess of the club. Frank Bogert, who later served as mayor of Palm Springs, was an early manager of the club. Champion players such as Arthur Ashe, Dick Savitt, Jimmy Connors, Roy Emerson, Chris Evert, Pancho Gonzales, Billie Jean King, Jack Kramer, Rod Laver, Bob Lutz, Gene Mako, Alice Marble, Charlie Pasarell, Bobby Riggs, Ken Rosewall, Pancho Segura, Stan Smith, Roscoe Tanner, Mike Franks, and Ellsworth Vines all played at the club. The club also served as a gathering place and party venue for much of Hollywood's show business elite. The club was the venue for the 1975 Davis Cup Americas Zone, but in subsequent years, it suffered a decline. After a massive fire on July 23, 2014, the building was demolished.

A Bold, Edgier Take on the Man of Steel
Format: Paperback
“Absolute Superman” reimagines the Man of Steel in a darker alternate universe where Earth is dominated by the Lazarus Corporation and enforced by the Peacemakers, an organization that bears an unsettling resemblance to modern immigration authorities. In this version, Kal-El arrives from Krypton not as an infant, but as a young man accompanied by an AI companion. After a brief stay with the Kents, he is reported as an illegal alien and becomes a fugitive, hunted by the Peacemakers. Adding an intriguing twist, Lois Lane is among those pursuing him. This is a grittier, more morally complex Superman than the hopeful, sunny figure many readers may expect, but the reinterpretation is compelling. The collected volume, “The Last Dust of Krypton,” gathers the first five issues of the series and features striking artwork by Rafa Sandoval and others. Jason Aaron’s storytelling is thoughtful and engaging, making this a strong entry point into a bold reimagining of the character.

LOVE the absolute universe
Format: Paperback
If you have heard of DC's Absolute Universe, this is a great starting point. The art, the storytelling, and the new revision is all a blast to read. I highly recommend this and all the others in the absolute series.
