Newsletter: Today: Apple, Latinos and Security. A National Trauma That Shaped Nancy Reagan.

I’m Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today.

TOP STORIES

Apple, Latinos and Security

Is Apple trying to build on Latinos’ fears about government as the iPhone maker defies a court order in a terrorism case? That might explain why Eddy Cue, Apple senior vice president of Internet software and services, told Univision that Latinos should be very concerned about any law that gives the government broad access to personal information.

To Live (as a Puma) and Die (as a Koala) in L.A.

Zoo officials can’t say 100% that he’s the culprit, but he was caught on video near the scene of the crime. P-22 was already a celebrity mountain lion before the predawn killing of a koala Thursday at the L.A. Zoo. While the zoo investigates, animals will be kept in night quarters after closing.

A National Trauma That Shaped Nancy Reagan

On March 30, 1981, a would-be assassin shot and wounded President Reagan. When Nancy Reagan recalled that day three decades later, her eyes glistened and her hands trembled. Sitting next to Jerry Parr, the Secret Service agent who made the lifesaving decision to take the president to a hospital rather than the White House, she said, “Jerry, thank you for giving me my life back.” As the former first lady is memorialized in Simi Valley today, our Justice Department reporter Del Quentin Wilber, who wrote a book on the events of that day in 1981, describes how the assassination attempt reshaped Nancy Reagan and her legacy.

L.A. County’s Water Catchers

It never rains in Southern California, as the song goes, but it pours, man, it pours. When rain falls here, the Department of Public Works in L.A. County performs an engineering ballet to catch the rainwater before it disappears into the ocean. Spend a rainy day with the “storm boss” and other engineers who — in the midst of a punishing drought and the still-awaited effects of El Niño — work to save that fresh water. The effort captures millions of gallons of water as it gushes through a 3,300-mile network of storm drains, channels, debris basis, dams and spreading grounds.

Hoop Dreams

The NBA has set out to create a basketball culture in India almost from scratch. Why? More than other major U.S. sports leagues, the NBA has pushed to expand its global reach and sees India’s 1.25 billion people as potential fans. To make that happen, the league has deployed dozens of coaches across the country. Since less than half of 1% of the population plays basketball, the NBA also has stepped up efforts to find a homegrown star.
