While Los Angeles mourns the death of Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela, a pair of artists are working to pay tribute to the beloved sports figure with murals in the City of Angels. Valenzuela, whose signature screwball stunted athletic rivals and captivated fans, died Tuesday after he was hospitalized earlier this month for an unspecified reason.

Scientists know of four forces in the universe: electromagnetism, gravity and the strong and weak nuclear forces. But some scientists suspect a fifth force might exist. For one thing, a fifth force might help explain a major unsolved physics puzzle: the identity of the unknown source of mass throughout the universe known as dark…
The first question in the vice presidential debate was about the Iranian missile attack on Israel, which took place earlier that day. In their answers, both Sen. JD Vance and Gov.
