There will be no brass bands playing when Shirreffs leaves. That's partly because it will be...Tags: Los Angeles International Airport, Breeders' Cup, Kentucky Derby

Being uncomfortable not a bad idea
Back in the Very Long Ago Ages, when I was a college student, I actually got involved in a few demonstrations. And I like to think they were for good causes. And not just to meet girls.

The boos and the catcalls echoed as Tommie Smith and John Carlos walked off the medal stand in the summer of 1968, track shoes in their hands to symbolize the poverty of their youth. The noise reached a crescendo as they stepped into a tunnel labeled...Tags: Mexico, Justin Gatlin, Mexico City, International Olympic Committee, Orange County Regional History Center

Who's to blame for our politics? Don't ask
There is a classic "Doonesbury" cartoon, published soon after the Vietnam War ended, in which the antiwar activist Mark Slackmeyer is arguing with his pro-war father.

Movie secrets are there, in the script!

A Dyngus Day for the history books
