  1. Classic Hollywood: Vin Scully makes the call on baseball films

    Over the decades, films about legendary baseball players have sometimes knocked it out of the park (1942's "The Pride of the Yankees" about Lou Gehrig) or struck out (1948's "The Babe Ruth Story.")

  2. Forcing the feds' hand on marijuana [Blowback]

    In opposing HR 689, a bill by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) to federally reclassify marijuana as most other legal prescription drugs and remove oversight from the Drug Enforcement Administration and give it to the states, The Times states in its <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2013/feb/28/opinion/la-ed-marijuana-legalization-20130228">Feb. 28 editorial</a> that it would be better to regulate cannabis at the federal level than have a patchwork of conflicting state laws.

  7. 'Damn Yankees' and the passions they stir

    A couple of years ago, for Father's Day, my family bought me the interactive video game MLB 2K9 for the Wii. The great thing about the game, and also its enduring frustration, is its verisimilitude &mdash; playing as the 2009 New York Yankees, I had access to all those players, all that talent, although I often couldn't make them win. Usually, I'd play against the machine but on occasion with my then-11-year-old daughter, Sophie, an avowed Yankees hater and (even worse) a Red Sox fan.

  9. Wishing for the right to make that final exit

    Colleen Kegg hasn't worked out the details of her exit plan yet. But about one thing, Kegg is clear: When she can no longer feed herself or go to the bathroom without assistance, she will take steps to end her life. A rare and incurable neurological disease is gradually stealing the things the 60-year-old Santa Barbara-area resident lives for, and she wishes a California physician could legally prescribe life-ending medication, as doctors can in Oregon, Washington and Montana. Instead, she'll have to find another way.
