Notes The statue of a "rampant" (i.e., standing on his hindlegs) bear is a Cold War monument, presented to the people of Los Angeles by the people of West Berlin. Berlin and Los Angeles are sister cities, a relationship which, at the time, was presumably recognized only by West Berliners. A bear standing in this posture is the main design of Berlin's coat of arms, and is an example "canting" arms, since the German word for 'bear'--Behr--is pronounced very much like the first syllable of 'Berlin'. |
