  1. Letters: Malibu's lost lagoon

    <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-malibu-lagoon-restoration-20130430%2C0%2C4516377.story">Re "A deep divide at Malibu Lagoon," April 30</a>

  2. Uncovered: Ritual public drunkenness and sex in ancient Egypt

    I'll bet you that archaeologist Betsy Bryan's perspective on reality-show behavior is a little longer than most. Since 2001, Bryan has led the excavation of the temple complex of the Egyptian goddess Mut in modern-day Luxor, the site of the city of Thebes in ancient Egypt. And the ritual she has uncovered, which centers on binge drinking, thumping music and orgiastic public sex, probably makes "Jersey Shore" look pretty tame.

  3. Restored or ruined? Malibu Lagoon project stirs strong opinions

    Before the bulldozers arrived last June, Malibu Lagoon was a fully grown habitat for egrets, voles and tidewater gobies, studded with sycamore trees and clusters of tule reeds. Today, the lagoon's islands appear almost barren, covered by a sea of tiny red and blue plastic flags marking young plants just taking root.

  6. New Directors: Isaiah Washington's 'Blue Caprice' bore a heavy burden

    When it comes to creating compelling drama, fact-based films often have an advantage over the invented kind.

  10. Cedillo, Gardea and the two L.A.s, 20 years after 'Falling Down'

    There is a scene in the movie &ldquo;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ckjELRL6Y">Falling Down</a>&rdquo; -- released almost exactly 20 years ago -- in which laid-off aerospace engineer William Foster tangles with a couple of gang members on a vacant hill just west of downtown Los Angeles. The film is a gold mine for anyone who wants to delve into the rich genre of stories about L.A. as paradise lost, or explore the standard menu of racial stereotypes. The hard-working white guy is the victim, and he&rsquo;s finally had enough. This is one of those movies.

  11. Letters: Ballona's backers aren't budging

    Re "What kind of wetlands?," Editorial, Feb. 5 As someone who spent years as part of the community effort to save the Ballona Wetlands as an ecological reserve, I think the Annenberg Foundation's proposed interpretive center is indeed a travesty. I am...

  12. The future of the Ballona Wetlands

    Over the course of two centuries, the Ballona Wetlands have, more or less, survived grazing cattle, Howard Hughes and Marina del Rey. Now, nearly a decade after the state acquired the 640 acres of the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve that stretch from Westchester to the marina, the cherished preserve may finally be getting the substantial restoration it needs and deserves. The Annenberg Foundation has agreed to put up at least $50 million to build an interpretive center in the wetlands and help with the restoration of the land around the center. The agreement is laid out in a memorandum of understanding among<strong> </strong>the California Department of Fish and Wildlife &mdash; which controls the wetlands &mdash; the state's Coastal Conservancy, the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission and Annenberg. The state is in the early stages of an environmental review of the restoration plans for the wetlands.
