Newsletter: Today: Bullet Trains vs. Horses. Surprise! It’s El Chapo.

TOP STORIES

Bernie and Bill Take It Down a Notch

Bernie Sanders and Bill Clinton barnstormed Southern California over the weekend. For months they’ve battled over trade, crime, healthcare and college tuition. But with the California primary just over two weeks away, political columnist Cathleen Decker sensed a shift in tone: Gone was the harshness, and in its place, both emphasized the diversity of the state’s voters. How long will this apparent detente last?

Bullet Trains: They Spook Horses, Don’t They?

Government officials knew the $64-billion bullet train project would generate complaints, whether from taxpayers upset about the cost or farmers objecting to their land being taken. But they didn’t expect horse owners to buck them too. Some northern San Fernando Valley horse towns worry their character will be destroyed. Here’s why equestrians are just saying neigh.

Surprise! It’s El Chapo

Sinaloa drug cartel chief Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was recently moved to a prison just across the border from Texas. It could take years, though, for him to be brought to the U.S. to face charges. And when the time comes, it will probably be a quick, secret and high-security affair — with an assurance that he won’t face the death penalty. Read on for an in-depth look at how Guzmán could be extradited.

A Pregame Error or Something More?

The San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus was supposed to sing the national anthem before Saturday’s game between the Padres and the Dodgers at Petco Park. But when the time came, a woman’s voice — believed to be that of the previous day’s anthem singer — was played over the PA system while the men stood on the field. Now, the Padres have offered an apology, disciplined an employee and severed ties with a contractor, while the chorus wants an independent investigation.

The Other Side of Cannes

The Cannes Film Festival is one of the world’s glitziest show-biz affairs, a seemingly endless parade of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. And then there’s the market — a place to peddle film projects that may be looking for an audience or that may never get made. On this working-man’s side of Cannes, you’ll find Phil ‎Robertson of “Duck Dynasty,” Dionne Warwick and anyone with a dream hoping to hawk their wares. Step into Cannes’ deal-making circus.

On Saturday, the tank traveled 16.5 miles and arrived early at the California Science Center in Exposition Park. Here’s what it looked like as ET came home.
