TOP STORIES

Oscars in the Spotlight and the Crosshairs

Chris Rock took on #OscarsSoWhite in a big way, from the opening monologue onward. Leonardo DiCaprio finally won. And “Spotlight” was the best picture on a night that gave us several surprises, possibly the oldest Oscar winner in composer Ennio Morricone, and the debut of the thank-you crawl on TV. As it all played out, Al Sharpton was slamming Hollywood, and in Flint, Mich, “Creed’s” director held a benefit featuring Stevie Wonder and Janelle Monae. Full coverage is here, along with the complete list of winners.

Try This On for Size: President Trump

What might a Donald Trump presidency look like? That’s a difficult proposition for Democrats and some Republicans to ponder -- not only because of the unanswerables. The one clear theme is Trump’s belief in the personal use of executive power, as well as his pledges to increase military spending and not cut Social Security or Medicare. Read on to see how far that executive power could take him – and where it would stop.

The Weekend That Was in Politics

Hillary Clinton cruised to victory in South Carolina, and Bernie Sanders admitted, “We got killed.” Ted Cruz claimed Trump may have Mafia ties. Trump disparaged “Little Marco” Rubio as a lightweight, and tweeted a quote from Mussolini. Rubio called Trump unelectable after he failed to immediately disavow the endorsement of former KKK leader David Duke. What will tomorrow bring? Here’s how Super Tuesday could mean it’s all over but the shouting -- but oh what shouting it will be.

Shock in Anaheim

Three people stabbed. Thirteen people arrested. And lots of questions -- about why the Ku Klux Klan demonstrated in racially diverse Anaheim and whether the police presence was sufficient as violence erupted between the KKK and people there to protest the Klan. “Why would they target us and our city? I’ve lived here all my life and I can tell you it’s calm and there’s the magic of Disney. They picked the wrong place,” said one resident. But the ugly history of the KKK in Anaheim goes back nearly 100 years.

One iPhone? Perhaps Up to 450 in L.A. Alone

Police officials around the country are watching the fight between Apple and the FBI over the iPhone 5c used by Syed Rizwan Farook. Their hope: that a ruling in the government’s favor will set a precedent allowing broader law enforcement access to encrypted data, even as they acknowledge privacy concerns and that not every phone is pivotal to an investigation. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department has as many as 150 phones investigators can’t crack, while the LAPD has about 300.

L.A.’s Korean War of Words

When Korean immigrants cobbled together donations to purchase a building on the corner of Western and Olympic four decades ago, it became a source of pride. Now, the Korean American Community Center is the center of protracted infighting. Read on to see why locksmiths and lawyers are being brought in over “a home of our own in the heart of L.A.”
