In The Pipeline: The dark days of 1984

In The Pipeline: Local Babe Ruth footage unearthed
I've never seen anything like this. It's hard to fathom. So rare is the view that I don't even want to blink for fear of missing a split second. Did I really just see that? Recently, at a signing for my new book, "Baseball in Orange County," an elderly...

City Lights: Thoughts on gunmen, victims and the media that reports them
It's rare that I remember a magazine cover a decade and a half later, but one that has stuck in my mind — and not in a good way — is the issue of Time from the week after the Columbine High School massacre. Anyone from the class of 1998,...

Shadia: Extremists don't speak for everyone
A variety of things enrage me about some so-called Muslims. Sometimes those things are so atrocious that I can't fathom how these people (or governments) count themselves as Muslim. You might know what I'm talking about. It's the violent protests...Tags: Twitter, Inc., Armed Conflicts, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Cairo (Egypt), Kabul (Afghanistan)

City Lights: Remembering 'the days before 9/11 became 9/11'
It slides so easily off the tongue: 9/11. Nineeleven. The terrorist attacks of a decade ago, which felt almost indescribable at the time, now occupy a compact place in our lexicon.
