  1. Polls find a generation gap in politics that may help the GOP

    The U.S. heads into the 2012 presidential contest with a large generation gap in its politics — a rarity in American elections and one that, at least for now, has boosted prospects for a Republican victory, new survey data show.

  2. After three years, VP role suits Biden

    He squared up against a 250-pound, barely-clothed Mongol wrestler, accepted as a gift a handsome brown horse that he named Celtic, and marveled at the logic-defying contortions of a physical performer balancing herself by her teeth.

  3. Goldberg: Seduced by the cult of experts

    When asked what posed the greatest challenge to statesmen, Harold Macmillan, the former British prime minister, responded, "Events, my dear boy, events."

  4. Patt Morrison Asks: Memorial man Peter Walker

    Berkeley landscape architect Peter Walker has designed bigger projects than the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-9-11-memorial-pictures,0,1314551.photogallery">9/11 memorial in New York</a>, but probably none has carried more weight. The opening of the eight-acre plaza Sunday marks 10 years since the terrorist attacks, and almost as many years since Walker joined with architect Michael Arad to finalize a monument for ground zero. The design -- down to plaza lights like the model Walker is holding -- demanded as much attention to emotion as to aesthetics and engineering. With work on One World Trade Center and the museum still in progress, it is the memorial that will first meet the public eye and, if it succeeds, affix in the public heart the harrowing sorrow and transcendent memory of 9/11 for as long as such monuments endure.

  5. Patt Morrison Asks: Balloteer Kim Alexander

    The first California election that Kim Alexander cast a ballot in was a pip; voters decided 16 state propositions -- on creating a state lottery, capping welfare, limiting campaign contributions -- and gave their former governor, Ronald Reagan, a second term in the White House.

  6. A Peek in the Rearview

    Los Angeles and the automobile grew up together. The sunny weather makes it a natural habitat for cars, with mostly excellent driving conditions year-round, save for occasional <span>precipitation. In turn, motor vehicles allowed </span><span>the city to grow and become as spread out as it is today. And the urban sprawl of L.A. necessitates driving much more so than the dense, compact big cities of the East Coast. It&rsquo;s a classic codependent relationship.</span>

  8. Wade Mainer dies at 104; 'grandfather of bluegrass'

    Born on a mountain farm near Weaverville, N.C., in 1907, Wade Mainer soaked up old songs ringing in the far hills and hollers.

  9. Book Review: 'Exorcising Hitler: The Occupation and Denazification of Germany'

    For the German people, unconditional surrender in spring 1945 meant the end of self-government for the foreseeable future. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower minced no words when he announced that the Allied troops were there as conquerors, not liberators. Of course, they were, in fact, both. But, as Frederick Taylor says at the outset of his enthralling book, "Exorcising Hitler: The Occupation and Denazification of Germany," the country, "as it came under Allied control, resembled a blank object, a clean sheet." As far as government, yes, but the Nazis had fouled that sheet, and "Exorcising Hitler" shows just how much messier &#8212; politically, socially and economically &#8212; things became before they could be cleaned up sufficiently for a new kind of society to take root.

  10. Book review: 'In the Garden of Beasts'

    As the events leading up to World War II go, Franklin Roosevelt's 1933 appointment of a na&#239;ve history professor as ambassador to Germany &#8212; and the professor's decision to take his adventurous adult daughter with him &#8212; rank pretty low in importance. But in these lives, Erik Larson, author of "The Devil in the White City," finds a terrific storytelling vehicle, as William E. Dodd and his daughter, Martha, are initially taken with Adolf Hitler and his reinvigoration of Germany, and then slowly come to realize that nothing would stop Hitler from waging war and seeking to wipe out Europe's Jews.
