  1. In search of 'The Searchers' and the history behind the western

    The bigger the fight between a screenwriter and a director, the better the picture. It's an arrant generalization but not necessarily an errant one. Look at Budd Schulberg's battles with "On the Waterfront," or Robert Towne's over the ending of "Chinatown," or most if not all the writers on director Otto Preminger's best movies — few if any of whom could stand ever to work with him again.

  2. Woodward vs. White House: Carney denies threats

    <span class="runtimeTopic">WASHINGTON</span> &ndash; When not fighting with Republicans, the White House has been tangling with one of the capital&rsquo;s best-known and best-sourced reporters.

  4. Angels to sign Chris Snyder to compete for backup catching job

    TEMPE, Ariz. -- As if Hank Conger wasn&rsquo;t having enough problems this spring, his four throwing errors causing considerable concern for the Angels, he will now have some serious competition for the backup catching job.

  5. The Catholic Church and Argentina

    Very few Argentines were on hand for the proceedings, for the white smoke followed by the traditional proclamation, Habemus papam &mdash; "We have a pope." But on the other side of the world, the people of Buenos Aires erupted with jubilation when they learned that the new pontiff, Pope Francis, was Argentine.

  8. 'Cinderella': There's always a party at Chez Rossini

    Inevitably, our tastes change as we grow older. Most of the pop songs that once served as anthems are now exercises in nostalgia, calling up happy ghosts rather than anything new and urgent. The dense romantic adventure novel that we swore by in our teens no longer holds our interest, but we can lose ourselves in the hitherto-impenetrable nuances and shadows of Henry James. The sentimental sweetness of Charles Chaplin remains affecting, but we are increasingly grateful for the stoniness of Buster Keaton and the petty but hilarious cruelties of W.C. Fields.

  9. Emily Rapp writes her way through grief in 'Still Point of the Turning World''

    Emily Rapp is not one to sugarcoat hard truths, including the brutal diagnosis she and her husband received in January 2011 when they took their then-9-month-old son to a pediatric ophthalmologist because of concerns about developmental delays. Ronan, they were told, had Tay-Sachs disease, which was untreatable and always fatal, usually by age 3.

  10. Some advice for Pope Francis

    Much has been made about Cardinal Jorge Mario&nbsp;Bergoglio&rsquo;s dedication to the poor. Almost immediately after becoming the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church and <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-francis-pope-name-20130313,0,2642213.story">renaming himself Pope Francis</a>, the commentary began, some of it predicting his legacy before his first day on the job. &ldquo;In the end, it is Pope Francis&rsquo;s standing as a Latin American and as an advocate of the poor that may well define him,&rdquo; <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ej-dionne-francis-a-pope-of-the-poor/2013/03/13/34576b08-8c2c-11e2-9f54-f3fdd70acad2_story.html">wrote</a> the Washington Post&rsquo;s E.J.

  11. Deficit hawks' 'generational theft' argument is a sham

    Here's a phrase you can expect to be hearing a lot in the national debate over fiscal policy, as we move past the "sequester," which is the crisis du jour, and toward the budget cliff/government shutdown deadline looming at the end of March:

  12. L.A.'s civic disengagement

    At first glance, two stories much in the news in Los Angeles of late would seem to have nothing to do with each other. The first concerns the fate of the Museum of Contemporary Art &mdash; whether it will affiliate with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art or USC or the National Gallery in Washington &mdash; and the outsized role its primary benefactor, Eli Broad, is likely to play in the choice. The second concerns the low voter turnout in the first round of the city's mayoral election this month.
