TOP STORIES

One Person, One Vote, One Court

We don’t see too many unanimous rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court, but all eight justices rejected a constitutional claim that only eligible voters, rather than all people, be counted when drawing election districts. The lawsuit brought by a conservative activist would have overturned the “one person, one vote” principle, in effect shifting power away from cities with lots of immigrants, like L.A. Read on to see why the ruling won’t be the last we hear of this issue.

Go Ahead, Take a Load Off. It’s the Law.

Tired of standing all day at your job? The California Supreme Court made its own unanimous ruling Monday that workers don’t have to do so, as long as “the totality of the circumstances” allows them to get the work done while seated. Here’s what it could mean for cashiers, bank tellers and others who aren’t clamoring to trade in their chairs for a standing desk.

The New UC: Now With More Californians!

Just last week, a state audit slammed the University of California, saying it was favoring out-of-state students over residents. This just in: Preliminary UC data show a 15% increase in admission offers to Californians -- the largest jump since the university began tracking this kind of information in 1994 -- while admissions to nonresidents grew 8.9%. Teresa Watanabe breaks down the numbers and talks with a few high school seniors who are very excited.

Mouse House Drama

He was seen as the favorite to be the next leader of Walt Disney Co. in 2018, but Chief Operating Officer Thomas Staggs announced he’ll be leaving next month, in a move that shocked Hollywood and Wall Street. Who will succeed Robert Iger now? Here’s why names like Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Steve Burke of NBCUniversal and Peter Chernin, formerly of Fox, are already being bandied about.

Hearrrtt-break! (For the Tar Heels)

Michael Jordan, the king of the buzzer beater, was in the crowd last night to cheer on his Tar Heels against the Villanova Wildcats. On a memorable three-point shot by Marcus Paige with 4.7 seconds left, the Tar Heels tied the game. Then the Wildcats’ Kris Jenkins borrowed a signature MJ move, drilling his own three-pointer at the buzzer. As Chick Hearn would have said: Hearrrtt-break!

Yo, Dawg. Last Call for ‘American Idol’

The singers. The voting. The judges Simon, Paula and Randy. “American Idol” seemingly came out of nowhere in 2002 to become a hit show that changed TV, influenced the music industry and even inspired a blog on The Times’ website.

ONLY IN CALIFORNIA

You never know what you’ll find in a tide pool: Sea urchins. Anemones. Shark egg cases. Father Junipero Serra’s head. That’s what happened during low tide in Monterey, when a girl found the missing head of a granite statue that was defaced in October in the wake of Serra’s canonization. The plan is to reattach the head “in a manner that it cannot be so easily vandalized in the future.”
