Usually, the UC Irvine men’s basketball team wears people down. On Saturday night in Las Vegas, the Anteaters were on the other end of that process, and maybe it says something about this strangest of seasons. Or maybe it’s just one of those years.

I would have never imagined that as a result of speaking at the Los Angeles Unified School District school board meetings that so many voices would go unheard, and I would be racially categorized and my job threatened. I have been on the radar of United Teachers Los Angeles, the union representing teachers in LAUSD,…

As a much-younger Will Swaim – even then a hothouse flower but cultivated by solidly American and generous Californians just after the middle of last century – I was infatuated with all things British and particularly what I thought was “English.” It was stored in the DNA: my mom’s dad (for whom I was named)…

ARCADIA — While the other six jockeys were riding horses in Saturday’s $300,000 Grade I Beholder Mile at Santa Anita, Robby Albarado was aboard something a bit more powerful. “It’s like driving a Ferrari,” the 47-year-old jockey said in the winner’s circle after guiding the remarkable filly Swiss Skydiver to a 2 3/4-length victory as…

By PIPER HUDSPETH BLACKBURN LOUISVILLE, Ky. — On the one-year anniversary of Breonna Taylor’s death, the slain Black woman’s family continued their call for justice as hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Louisville on Saturday. “Eyes are on Louisville, Kentucky, today so let’s show America what community looks like,” said Taylor’s aunt, Bianca Austin, who…

It was weird, especially for those who weren’t unanimously famous, to speak from a podium. To Rudy Gobert, it was funny. On March 9 of last year, the Utah Jazz center answered…

UC Davis has become the Big West Conference’s women’s basketball behemoth, to the point that even two months of inactivity couldn’t slow the Aggies down.
