U-T dispute with parent gets ink
Lotta dicks of every variety at Tribune Company.— October 15, 2015 6:04 p.m.
Angelika Film Center debuts in Carmel Mountain
Wait a minute, Scott. $8.50 before NOON doesn't sound like such a bargain to me. (Even I don't know people who go to the movies before noon on a weekday.) And maybe this glowing review is related to your gig to pick the Angelika's seldom-seen movie-list for the first quarter of Y2016? Is this place selling food inside the movie-seeing auditorium? Like, can people call for food service to their electric reclining seat mid-movie? And what would the after-noon price be? Is the Angelika roster of films all super-special, or will it be a mix of first-run American commercial plus foreign films? Inquiring minds also want to know where in the world is Carmel Mountain Plaza?— October 14, 2015 5:11 p.m.
A Sharp eraser: U-T omits key transplant facts
Since we're into comparisons here, I'd like to see the terms of sale for the Union-Tribune over the last four owners printed in one place. David Copley to Platinum Equity of Beverly Hills for how much? Platinum Equity to Doug Manchester, minus the La Jolla property, for how much? Manchester to Tribune Co. of Chicago, minus the Mission Valley plant, for $83 million. Sure looks like a downward trajectory to me….— October 13, 2015 3:25 p.m.
California imposes no-chew law for big leagues
Well, I'm happy to get support here for banning all red traffic lights. If I don't feel like stopping when the municipality says "stop," I'm gonna breeze on through that intersection. Chaw? Snuff? Snus?( I have never heard of snus.) Pick your poison. Your readers can pretend that major league baseball players are all so health-conscious and rich that they won't use chewing tobacco, but high school baseball players use it and they influence their younger audience. Nine-year-old Little Leaguers know about chewing tobacco's cool. It's deadly and disgusting. If California, the biggest state in the nation with the most major league baseball teams bans chewing tobacco, I'd say more good than harm is being done. It's proof that you CAN regulate idiots.— October 13, 2015 2:53 p.m.
Bill Kolender’s long goodbye
All probably true about the last Kolender election and Gore succession, but let's reflect for a moment on this Columbus Day about the difference between actual and perceived historical truths. Take a look at the OB Rag's piece on Christopher Columbus and note that Seattle, Minneapolis and Berkeley have renamed this holiday in honor of Native Americans. Proof that we are educable, we can change and do better. Even in local elections.— October 12, 2015 2:25 p.m.
Gov. Brown vetoes bills to reform utilities commission
This is a damning story, made worse by the information from ImJustABill. Jerry Brown has lost his fire and become a Player -- this being another egregious example of his caving in to special interests. Public education policy handed over to teachers' union interests, maintaining the CPUC in the face of proffered bipartisan legislative reform. It's sad. He's overstayed his time.— October 9, 2015 6:38 p.m.
The Lot brings luxury cinema to La Jolla Village
Probably you should mention The Lot is 100% Commerce with $22-24 movie ticket prices for run-of-the-mill mainstream films.— October 9, 2015 3:23 p.m.
Bill Kolender’s long goodbye
Whatever else he did, when Bill Kolender became Chief of Police, the cops stopped hassling kids at the Windansea Beach parking lot and detaining people who liked to run through neighborhoods at night. And when he became Sheriff, replacing an odious macho predecessor, Kolender insisted on more civilized and humane behavior from his subordinates.— October 8, 2015 4:06 p.m.
Five percent of U-T’s parent acquired by buyer with Chinese ties

Will Soon-Shiong grab San Diego’s U-T?
Just unthinkable to imagine two major newspapers in Southern California in the hands of a billionaire physician entrepreneur. It makes Eli Broad look like a familiar face and an old pro. We need to know more about Soon. Like, is he a native Californian? Born in the USA? As they used to say, where did he train? How long has he been so rich? Does he still work as a doc? Does he read the LA Times?— September 25, 2015 8:27 p.m.
