Southern California Republican voters are favoring Trump. How come?

Then, Thomas Staggs, Disney heir apparent, has suddenly stepped down. So who’s going to take over when current CEO Bob Iger’s contract is up in two years?

And the Marissa Mayer era at Yahoo is taking a turn for the worse. The company has announced that it will shed 15 percent of its staff and its core business may be up for sale. Why? Hint: Kim Kardashian’s rear end has something to do with it.

Then, a new book profiles three of the two hundred women who have run for president.

And, finally, edibles...They’re not just pot brownies anymore.
