Recent measurements on the resistivity of (La-Sr){sub 2}CuO{sub 4} are shown to fit within the general framework of Luttinger liquid transport theory. They exhibit a crossover from the spin-charge separated {open_quote}{open_quote}holon nondrag regime{close_quote}{close_quote} usually observed, with {rho}{sub {ital ab}}{approximately}{ital T}, to a {open_quote}{open_quote}localizing{close_quote}{close_quote} regime dominated by impurity scattering at low temperature. The proportionality of {rho}{sub {ital c}} and {rho}{sub {ital ab}} and the giant anisotropy follow directly from the theory. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
