"The previously tight-lipped pop star connects dots from her life to her music as she never has before," @RichJuz writes. "If she is over the top, here’s a book-long theory of how she got there" latimes.com/entertainment-…
Carey recounts her ex-husband Tommy Mottola’s constant surveillance, controlling nature, and “unpredictable” rage.
She writes that he held a butter knife to her face in front of a group of guests at their home: latimes.com/entertainment-…
Carey’s music took a decidedly R&B turn when she gained the courage to defy Mottola; early on, Carey writes, “he tried to wash the ‘urban’ (translation: Black) off of me. And it was no different when it came to the music” latimes.com/entertainment-…
She also talks about how kissing Derek Jeter inspired one of her songs, and, of course, that another singer whose name she refuses to print latimes.com/entertainment-…

In 2015, we asked Carey how she deals with rumors. She replied: "Internet or newspaper?"
For decades, the Stauffer Chemical Co. disposed of thousands of tons of industrial waste near its factory grounds along Richmond’s southeast shoreline.
But the barbed-wire-ringed Richmond site wasn’t Stauffer’s only dumping ground.
Warning signs along the Richmond, Calif., site’s perimeter attempt to discourage trespassers from breaching the locked gates, where soil testing has detected cancer-causing gamma radiation more than 60 times higher than background levels in some places.
In the last two decades, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control has overseen the investigation into the extent of contamination, revealing elevated radioactivity underground and at the surface. latimes.com/environment/st…
South Korea currently recycles close to 100% of its food waste, a remarkable jump from just 2.6% in 1996.
So, how did the nation's composting system become a model for the world?
Let's take a journey!

The food waste that ends up at Nanji Sewage Treatment Center starts out in a translucent yellow bag, which South Koreans have been required to use for throwing out their uneaten food since 2013. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
By purchasing them, which are priced at around 70 cents per liter and sold at any convenience or grocery store, residents effectively pay a tax on the food that they are throwing away. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
The decision to fire Tucker Carlson came straight from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, according to people familiar with the situation who were not authorized to comment. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Murdoch is said to be concerned over Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol, where the host has promoted the conspiracy theory that it was provoked by government agents. latimes.com/entertainment-…

The junta, which would go on to rule South Korea as a dictatorship for the next eight years, sent about 3,000 elite paratroopers — including Choi Byung-moon — to crush demonstrations.
For 10 days straight, the commandos went on a campaign of terror.
At least 165 people were killed – including, Choi suspected, a young girl he handed off to fellow soldiers following a bloody minibus attack. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Affluent communities with little low-income housing have been among those most targeted by state legislators who have strengthened half-century-old laws requiring cities to plan for growth.
In the past, Coronado only had to set aside land for 50 homes to meet state requirements. But this time, it is responsible for 912, 70% of which should be affordable to low- and middle-income residents. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
The allocation derives from a complex formula based on projected population increases and proximity to jobs and mass transit, among other factors. The law doesn’t mandate that cities build or approve new housing, just that they zone for it. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
