    Theater review: ‘The Vandal’ leaves its mark on audiences
    A play that doesn’t add up is frustrating. But a play that gets you to do the math and figure out what’s going on can be immensely satisfying. Especially, when it’s over and you head out the door with a couple lingering questions to find your own answers for.
    Hamish Linklater’s “The Vandal,” seeing its West Coast premiere on Chance Theater’s Fyda-Mar Stage, is sleight-of-hand, intense narrative at its beguiling best. Death and vulnerability are the predo

    The Take: ‘Grumpy Old Men’ charms at La Mirada Theatre
    La Miranda Theatre for the Performing Arts and McCoy Rigby Entertainment’s adaptation of the 1993 comedy classic starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, “Grumpy Old Men: The Musical” brings all the Midwestern charm of the film to the stage.
    The play, which saw its West Coast premiere at La Mirada Theatre on Sept. 21, is set in present-day Wabasha, Minnesota. Just like in the movie, neighbors John (Mark Jacoby) and Max (Gregory North) are locked in a decades-long feud which onl

    Angels broadcaster Mark Langston returns to ballpark as an ‘absolute miracle’
    ANAHEIM — Mark Langston was at Angel Stadium on Sunday, smiling and happily greeting everyone, and toting a stack of papers that illustrated why he believes it’s a miracle that he was there at all.
    The Angels radio broadcaster had the printout from the heart monitor attached to him by paramedics when he blacked out in the broadcast boost just before the first pitch of a game.
    It showed 3-1/2 minutes in which Langston was, clinically, dead.

    Assembly Bill 133 can help keep seniors in their homes
    Prior to the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, it was not uncommon for seniors on fixed incomes who had already paid off their mortgages to nonetheless lose their homes because they couldn’t afford to pay their property taxes.
    While Proposition 13 continues to protect millions of older Californians by providing reasonable and predictable property tax liability, for low-income seniors it may not be enough.

    USC still aiming for Pac-12 championship after loss to Washington
    SEATTLE — As USC gathered in the locker room on Saturday, each missed opportunity was etched into the faces following a 28-14 loss to Washington. It was a solemn mood. The Trojans had lost to the 17th-ranked team in the country, one that rarely loses at home, so the result wasn’t a shock.
    Rather, the way USC lost: With two fourth-quarter trips inside the Washington 10 that resulted in zero points, with three turnovers to Washington’s one, and with multiple penalties following t

    Is it time to rename John Wayne Airport?
    Looking up at the appropriately named “Saddleback Mountain,” it’s easy to imagine John Wayne — the biggest cowboy movie star ever — stradling the twin peaks and riding off into the heavens.
    But of course Duke, as he was called, wasn’t a real cowboy any more than he was, in a movie by the same name, a Green Beret.
    Wayne, however, was, by his own admission, a “white supremacist.”

    Fame might be fleeting but shame is forever: Doug McIntyre
    It’s unclear how the phrase “an elephant never forgets” entered the vernacular.
    Are elephants less likely to forget than hippos or zebras? And exactly what do elephants need to remember anyway? “Peanuts! I forgot how much I love those things!” But if you Google, “an elephant,” what instantly pops up is, “never forgets,” so it must be true. Right? Elephants, however, have nothing on the internet itself when it comes to remembering.
