Hundreds of prisoners live in solitary confinement in Los Angeles County jails. On average, they spend at least one year in a cell the size of a wheelchair-accessible bathroom stall, leaving only a few times a week, one at a time, for showers or exercise. Meals arrive through a slot in the cell...

Donald Trump is the most ableist presidential nominee in modern American political history.

Joe Leal says he knows the good ones from the bad. He’s been doing this for decades. He trusts that his brown eyes — narrowed beneath a furrowed brow — won’t deceive him.

This is the season when a presidential campaign’s mammoth machinery rumbles into action to pull in every last potential voter, particularly in a state like Ohio, where presidential contests have been decided by less than 5 points in the last four elections.

Sun-bleached posters of Palestinian militants adorn storefronts at the Balata refugee camp in the West Bank in tribute to those killed in an uprising against Israel that faded more than a decade ago.

Between Clayton Kershaw’s two starts in the National League division series, catcher Yasmani Grandal trudged out to the mound nearly a dozen times. It appeared the two were having trouble communicating.

Wonder Woman: A caption in the Oct. 16 Calendar section under an illustration of the DC Comics character Wonder Woman said it was a 1941 rendering. It was from the early 2000s.

As Dave Roberts left his dugout, a circle of teammates surrounded Clayton Kershaw, the group forming a phalanx around a man who did not require one. It was the seventh inning of the second game of the National League Championship Series against the Cubs, a contest these Dodgers could ill afford...

In the middle of a chaotic ending — the crowd screaming, the Sparks pressing, the court seemingly shrunk into just enough space for 10 bodies to fit — was a calm, collected Maya Moore.

Trevor Bauer and his drone were ready to explain themselves. 

The Cleveland right-hander kept the mood light at his news conference Sunday, showing up with the drone he said cut his finger and forced him to miss his start in Game 2 of the AL Championship Series. Bauer is scheduled to pitch Game...
