  2. Newton: What about the Port of Los Angeles?

    It's fun for mayoral candidates to imagine eliminating potholes or building new trains to link the Valley to the Westside. It's not hard to support a spiffed-up LAX (really, what's hard to believe is that it's taken this long) or legions of new police officers making Los Angeles safe. What you don't often hear from these candidates, however, is a thoughtful vision for the Port of Los Angeles.

  3. Legislature should pull plug on inept Medical Board of California

    The time has come to put the Medical Board of California out of its misery.
    The time has come to put the Medical Board of California out of its misery. The board oversees the licensing of doctors and their discipline for misdeeds or incompetence. It also has jurisdiction over doctor-owned surgical clinics. Long ago the board...

  4. Boxer Chris Arreola is back in line for title

    Chris Arreola is a boxer who would wear his emotions on his sleeve. That is, if there were any room. The massive arms that the Riverside boxer hopes will carry him back into the heavyweight title picture are covered with tattoos. The muscles ripple...

  5. Clippers are still playing second fiddle to Lakers in L.A.

    The Clippers have now sold out 92 straight home games with Saturday night's playoff victory in Staples Center.
    The Clippers have now sold out 92 straight home games with Saturday night's playoff victory in Staples Center. I have always thought it fascinating that there are 19,060 Clippers fans in all of Southern California and every one of them goes to every home...

  6. Newton: Mayoral candidates, show us the money

    The complaint I hear most often about this race for mayor of Los Angeles is that the candidates, Controller Wendy Greuel and Councilman Eric Garcetti, spend too much time talking in generalities without providing details about what they'd do. But when it comes to the city budget, the two candidates are so lost in the details that they often seem to be missing the big picture.

    Consider some of the things that have bound our nation together: Universal postal service at a flat rate, whether you live in Santa Monica or Sitka, Alaska. Interstate highways, built with taxpayer funds and free of tolls. Regulated phone and electric...

  9. UCLA wants more than Ben Howland could deliver—and it's entitled to

    How can they fire a coach who just won a conference championship? How can they fire a leader who spent 10 years winning more than twice as many games as he lost? How can they fire a salesman who last season brought in the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in the country?

  11. Clippers succeed thanks to him and really crummy Lakers

    I don't want to take all of the credit for bringing the Clippers together; like <strong>Chris Paul</strong>, I'm more interested in the assist.
    I don't want to take all of the credit for bringing the Clippers together; like Chris Paul, I'm more interested in the assist. But as soon as I got on the guys for losing sight of the finish line, they won a division title. You can look it up —...

  12. A federal judge takes on 'copyright trolls'

    There are trolls who live under bridges in fantasy novels. Then there are "copyright trolls." The latter have always occupied one of the most squalid corners of the legal system. They're people or firms that acquire copyrights to movies, music or...
