Newsletter: Today: ‘Preventable Tragedies.’ Powerball Winner.

I’m Davan Maharaj, editor of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today.

TOP STORIES

‘Preventable Tragedies’

The title of the U.S. Senate report is “Preventable Tragedies.” Investigators found that patients in 25 outbreaks were needlessly infected with potentially deadly bacteria after medical scope procedures. The reason: repeated failures by the device manufacturers, regulators and hospitals to report outbreaks. Read the full report and The Times investigation that preceded it.

Return of the City of Champions, Maybe

Inglewood used to be home of the Lakers, Kings and the Hollywood Park racetrack. Not long ago, prospects looked bleak. Will the arrival of an NFL team in the proposed Inglewood stadium be the capper in its turnaround? The once-fabulous Forum has returned as a high-end concert venue, and the racetrack site is slated for retail and residential development alongside the arena. If history is any guide, pro sports alone is no panacea. Plus: In an exclusive interview, owner Stan Kroenke discusses his vision for the L.A. Rams.

What’s Next for San Diego

The San Diego Chargers have the ball, but will they run with it? As part of the decision to move the St. Louis Rams to L.A., NFL owners gave the Chargers a year to decide whether to stay or go. San Diego’s leaders see it as a fresh start to possibly keep the team. Finances, public funding and many intangibles will come into play.

Will Clinton Get Berned?

Hillary Clinton has been running her campaign by the books. So why are her poll numbers slipping, as Sen. Bernie Sanders’ support is surging? For one, she’s had difficulty in forging personal connections with voters, a problem that’s plagued her before. Now, she’s getting more aggressive. Take a detailed look at how the current race became, as one Democrat put it, “like a quarter flipping around in the air.”

The Tehran Shuffle

Iran is on the verge of complying with the nuclear-containment deal, Secretary of State John F. Kerry said, and that means U.N. sanctions could start easing in a matter of days — including the return of billions of dollars in assets. Yet Iran is also stirring trouble: a spat with Saudia Arabia, missile tests, rockets fired near a U.S. ship, and the detainment of 10 U.S. sailors right before the State of the Union speech.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

A Thursday throwback to 1951, when the L.A. Rams took home the NFL Championship at the Coliseum.

ONLY IN L.A.

“Which Way, L.A.?” started as a one-off: a call-in radio show in the wake of the 1992 riots. But “a day became a week, and a week became a month...,” Warren Olney told The Times in 2012. So began a second career for the former TV reporter who had walked away from television feeling it was too superficial. After 23 years, the KCRW-FM show is calling it wrap Jan. 28. For Olney fans, all is not lost: He’ll keep doing his other show, “To the Point.”
