Based on the podcast of the same name, #TheDropout tracks the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and her biomedical company, Theranos. latimes.com/entertainment-…
At Theranos’ zenith, Holmes became known for her personal style, which seemed poised for mythmaking.

But no aspect of Holmes’ persona has fed into the public’s fascination more than what may be its most peculiar aspect: her deep voice. latimes.com/entertainment-…
In the new @hulu limited series, getting Holmes' voice right was crucial to actress Amanda Seyfried because “people are always talking about the voice. It’s the first thing people mentioned." latimes.com/entertainment-…

New: The California Supreme Court declined to lift an enrollment cap on UC Berkeley, leaving one of the nation’s most popular campuses scrambling to cut its incoming fall class by one-third just weeks before it was set to release admission decisions.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The high court rejected the UC’s appeal to stay a lower court ruling issued last August that froze enrollment at Berkeley until the campus more thoroughly examined the impact of its burgeoning growth on housing, homelessness and noise. latimes.com/california/sto…
The court left intact a ruling by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman, who capped enrollment while the lawsuit filed by Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods, proceeds.

Diesel fumes hang in the air.

Dirt cakes cars and windowsills.

Residents of Drumm Avenue wonder what happened to their once-quiet Wilmington street.

Read the story from @tcurwen with photography by @Carolyn_Cole

latimes.com/california/sto…
Not long into the pandemic, a daily convoy of 18-wheelers showed up on Drumm Avenue, turning the once-quiet Wilmington street into a loud and dusty truck route from dawn to well-past dusk that has continued for nearly two years.
latimes.com/california/sto…
“How do they think this is OK for us?” said Wilmington resident Valerie Contreras. “We’ve been complaining for years. Our neighborhoods are getting whittled away, so we’re left with an industrial city that Los Angeles and the ports have created.”

As of Thursday morning, the Jim fire in Orange County has burned 553 acres and is 15% contained.

latimes.com/california/sto…
“Our firefighters were able to get out and put more boots on the ground overnight,” Nathan Judy said. “Today we’ll get more crews on the fire line, building that containment line.”

latimes.com/california/sto…
The fire encroached on the burn scar of the 2018 Holy fire, which helped slow its spread along with aerial water and retardant drops.

Federal regulators are increasingly approving medicines before studies have shown they work, leaving patients at risk of taking prescriptions that could harm but not help them.

@MelodyPetersen reports: latimes.com/business/story…
Last year, 14 new drugs received so-called accelerated approval, in which they have not gone through the testing that the FDA regularly requires. That amounted to 28% of the 50 drugs the FDA approved. latimes.com/business/story…
The rules were created to be used in rare cases.

But with pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, patient groups & politicians to speed medicines to market, now most drugs are approved under the accelerated approval rules or through 3 similar programs. latimes.com/business/story…
