PLANNING WATCH - LA has a new Mayor. But if you now expect major changes from her, let me set you straight. The new mayor, Nithya Raman, may have a different personality, age, and separate supporters from the defeated mayor, Karen Bass, but they have much more in common than their differences.

To Mayor-Elect Nithya Raman

AN OPEN LETTER - Dear Mayor-Elect Raman,. Los Angeles has elected a mayor with a background in urban planning at an unusually consequential moment in the history of our city and nation. Our city remains one of the great urban centers of the world: an extraordinary place of culture, trade, immigration, education, innovation, and human ambition reaching all the way into space. We also carry a heavy accumulation of unfinished work in housing, homelessness, infrastructure, transportation, public safety, neighborhood quality, and wildfire recovery.

Numbers that Matter: Indiana vs.USC

It’s one of football’s oldest truths: when the final whistle sounds, the scoreboard tells you who won, but the numbers often tell you why. A team may rack up more yards and still walk away with a loss, only for the turnover margin to reveal the difference. Another may control the ball, dominate time of possession, and quietly squeeze the life out of a comeback attempt. Whether it’s field position, third-down efficiency, explosive plays, or costly mistakes, the box score often uncovers the story beneath the result. In a game decided by inches, the numbers have a way of explaining what the eye test alone cannot.
