Gregory Peck’s moral convictions defined the type of roles he wanted to play on screen. What irony that Gregory Peck’s greatest onscreen success was as a character who experienced failure. Alabama lawyer Atticus Finch, defending an innocent black man in “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962), loses his case. Still, Peck’s defeat becomes a victory, not only because he profits from a winning novel and screenplay, but also because he’s the one playing Finch. When audiences stumbled out of darkened cinema halls in 1962, Finch to them was no longer just...

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is starting to give the Dodgers that feeling. The one where, every time he takes the ball, the team will get a quality start. Where, whenever he ascends the mound, a string of zeros will follow. Where, most importantly, the days he pitches means the Dodgers should be positioned to win. “You start to have that feeling like, ‘It’s Yamamoto’s day,’” manager Dave Roberts explained with a smile before first pitch. “This is win day.” Tuesday was yet another of those days, with Yamamoto dazzling in an eight-inning,...

A light rain quickly turned into a hard pour as the skies opened while Michael Busch stood on deck. Busch heard Chicago Cubs fans start to get amped up while preparing to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning against San Diego Padres right-hander Enyel De Los Santos. As De Los Santos delivered an elevated 93.7 mph fastball to Busch, lightning lit up the sky above Wrigley Field. Within a flash, Busch unleashed a perfectly timed swing to send a 108 mph rocket to the right field bleachers for...

Unrest continued to ripple through UC San Diego on Tuesday with some in the campus community condemning the chancellor and of the university administration, a day after law enforcement tore down an encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters and made arrests that prompted skirmishes. With the tent city gone, campus was back to business as usual, although the evening brought a rally sponsored by the union representing student workers, which drew about 300 people. The loud but peaceful gathering was a reversal of Monday morning’s confrontations after the chancellor declared the encampment...

Earlier this week, three bodies were found dumped in a well with gunshot wounds...

CHICAGO (AP) — Dylan Cease is back in Chicago this week. And he’s apparently much happier than the last time he was here. Cease, who spent his first five major-league seasons with the White Sox after being drafted by the Cubs out of high school, said his final season with the South Siders “wasn’t enjoyable in really any way.” The ace right-hander had a tough year, and the team struggled. He’s having a much better time with the San Diego Padres, his new team, which is visiting the North Side...
