It is 70 years old. Also, a historic photograph of the Santa Monica Pier that accompanied the story was credited to the Santa Monica Pier Restoration Co. It should have been credited to the Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corp.

Cycling and doping: In the Nov. 3 Sports section, an article reporting that cyclist Yaroslav Popovych would testify before a Los Angeles grand jury looking into allegations of doping in the sport also said that Floyd Landis had served a doping suspension after winning the 2005 Tour de France.
