After many casual nights hanging out, Jenny and Oliver's first official date was at the happily erstwhile California Pizza Kitchen. They both remember having bad service and receiving free desert...

Ng and Leonard Lake, both former Marines, are believed to have killed up to two dozen men, women and children during the mid-1980s after luring them to their remote cabin in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California.

Surely, surely the most populous state in the Union will absorb weeks--nay, months--of every candidate's time, once New Hampshire is off the boards. What does it mean if Mr. Smith runs? Instead of the frozen tundra of Manchester, the sandy beaches of Montecito; instead of a frozen glass...
