Gone in 60 seconds— your bike, your motorcycle
Victim’s $13,000 Honda stolenJustin Di Bene, a 25-yearold college student who lives in Agoura Hills, is not only devastated that his custom motorcycle was stolen, but smoking mad.

On racism
Larry Brown’s defense of Derrick Bell (Acorn, March 15) leaves out some critical information and it is precisely that information that should concern the American public. Derrick Bell was a professor of Critical Race theory, a radical doctrine that holds American institutions and American civil rights laws responsible for perpetuating white supremacy. Many hold it to be a Marxist doctrine […]
