  1. Meet 'Twainiac' Cindy Lovell, New Director Of Mark Twain House

    Cindy Lovell calls herself a "Twainiac," because she's so crazy about Mark Twain. She's felt that way since she was a fourth-grader, when her teacher read the fence-whitewashing chapter of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" to the class.

  4. Letters: Plenty of blame to go around for UCLA, Ben Howland

    It's not Ben Howland's fault. Put the blame on UCLA and the NBA. The UCLA basketball program is nothing more than a puppy mill for the NBA. If Alcindor, Goodrich, Walton, Hazzard and Wilkes had left the Bruins after their first or second year during the Wooden era, there would have been very few championships, if any.

  7. JP Taravella produces a side-hurting, jaw-dropping, and eye-popping production of 'Leading Ladies'

    A raucous comedy is born as two ambitious British actors don wigs and brassieres, armed to accept the roles of a lifetime: females. In painful high heels and itchy petticoats, JP Taravella heads to the 1950s to highlight a wonderful world of hilarity...

  8. Farmers Markets: Odd-looking cherimoya is a sublime find

    &mdash; The cherimoya is a peculiar-looking, almost intimidating fruit &mdash; "like a pre-Columbian jade pine cone or the finial for a giant Inca four-poster bed," in Elizabeth Schneider's memorable words. But at its best it tastes sublime, with sweet, juicy, flan-like flesh and rich flavor blending papaya, banana and pineapple. Mark Twain famously called it "the most delicious fruit known to men," and if taste were all that counted, cherimoyas might outsell apples.

  11. Mailbag: Fire rings on the beach are happiness

    I seldom agree with the California Coastal Commission, but I applaud it for trying to save the few remaining fire rings along the coast. There is nothing quite so joyous and spirit-warming as hot dogs and marshmallows cooking on a stick over an open...
