  1. Quetzal, Ozomatli, other bands back May 1 immigrant-rights march

    Poets have been called the "unacknowledged legislators of the world." (A poet, naturally, coined the phrase.)

  4. Explosion in West, Texas, causes few hard feelings

    WEST, Texas — A week after a fertilizer plant explosion killed 14 residents, injured more than 150 others and leveled scores of homes, one emotion is notably absent here among citizens and officials alike: outrage.

  8. A shockingly sensible immigration plan

    The recent agreement between business and labor leaders on how to provide visas for nonagricultural workers in such industries as construction, hotels and restaurants is a surprising and welcome development. Such a breakthrough agreement would have been unthinkable a year ago, when the debate over comprehensive immigration reform was mired in anger and overheated preelection rhetoric.

  9. Labor and business leaders clear hurdle in immigration talks

    WASHINGTON – Labor and business leaders have agreed to a plan for setting wages for low-skilled immigrant workers, possibly ending a scuffle that delayed negotiations in the Senate over a sweeping plan to overhaul the country’s immigration system and create a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country, officials involved in the talks said.

  11. In L.A.'s Council District 9 race, the money flows to Curren Price

    It's easy to understand why special interests are pouring dollars into the mayor's race in Los Angeles -- the mayor is the most powerful official in the second-largest city in America. What's less intuitive is why they're spending so much in the race for the City Council's 9th District, the city's poorest.
