Kerry: 'War with no end'
Charging President George W. Bush with "stubborn incompetence" on
the war in Iraq, Sen. John Kerry on Monday made his most definitive
statement yet that he would not have invaded when Bush did as he delivered
a point-by-point indictment of the administration's Iraq policies.
"Invading Iraq has created a crisis of historic proportions, and, if we
do not change course, there is the prospect of a war with no end in
sight," Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, told an invited
audience of party advocates at New York University. ...[MORE]
Rather duped by documents
After 10 days at the center of a news media storm, Dan Rather and
CBS News admitted Monday that they could not authenticate four documents
the network had used to raise new questions about President George W.
Bush's Vietnam-era National Guard service and said the news report had been
a "mistake in judgment."...[MORE]

First pain, the gain
ANAHEIM - It was a Monday night that for the Angels
alternated between the sickening and the sublime - a night Vladimir
Guerrero got beaned in the head, Adam Kennedy suffered a possible
season-ending injury and Dallas McPherson showed that the future may, in fact, be now.
The Angels took a step toward staying in the postseason picture
with a wild 5-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. The win snapped a
scoreless streak at two games and moved the Angels within 2 1/2 games of idle Oakland.

When it's this late, players determine fate
Kevin Modesti: ANAHEIM -- At some point in a hard baseball
season, it must occur to even the best manager that the fate of his
club is out of his control, that the future is in the hands of the
players and dumb luck.
For Mike Scioscia, that point probably came Monday evening.
Before the game against the Seattle Mariners, Scioscia
restructured the Angels' batting order, working like a mad
scientist to apply an antidote to the team's recent spotty hitting. ...[MORE]
Culpepper has costly fumble
PHILADELPHIA - Donovan McNabb
didn't need much of Terrell Owens on Monday night. Daunte Culpepper could have used a lot more of Randy Moss.
In a strange game featuring lots of long drives but not many
points, the Philadelphia Eagles rode the running and passing of
McNabb to a 27-16 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Of the four
big offensive stars, only McNabb glittered, and Culpepper hurt his team badly with a fumble inside the Philadelphia 1-yard
line.

Rising teams to cross paths
Two longtime San Fernando Valley high
schools who recently became football rivals square off Friday, when
Crespi (2-0) of Encino plays at Birmingham (0-2) of Lake Balboa.
Never mind the records -- these are two teams on similarly successful
paths.
Birmingham, a City Section champion in the 1960s, is enjoying a
tremendous resurgence under coach Ed Croson. The Patriots have three
league titles, a section championship and a 40-12 record in his
four-plus seasons. They qualify as one of the area's best programs
of the new millennium. ...[MORE]

Victories play out in time for DVD releases
Just as movies that win major Academy Awards can
enjoy a box office boost, multiple Emmy winners "Angels In America" and the Fox
sitcom "Arrested Development" now stand to gain the most after dominating their
categories Sunday night.
With 11 Emmy wins to boast of, last week's release of the HBO miniseries on
DVD could not have been better timed. On Monday, the two-disc DVD set of
"Angels" was second on the Amazon.com hot seller list behind only the highly
anticipated "Star Wars" trilogy, which debuts on DVD today ...[MORE]
Emmy numbers plummet
When cable channel HBO tried to woo the Emmy
Awards away two years ago, the networks fought back and won.
Network executives could be rethinking the victory in light of the poor
ratings posted by Sunday's ceremony, watched by the smallest audience since 1990. ...[MORE]

Shalt thou make a killing?
It's a big-budget musical spectacle based on a biblical tale. It
contains dialogue that's sung throughout the performance, making the entire
effort more like opera than Broadway, and it's having its American premiere
in Los Angeles.
Talk about your potential financial "thou shalt not ... "
No, a stage version of "The Ten Commandments' won't be an easy sell,
even with a glut of promotion and movie star Val Kilmer's bearded face
peering out from billboards and the sides of buses across the city. ...[MORE]
