We look at today's Supreme Court ruling in favor of a Los Angeles clothing company that sued to be able to trademark its name. Plus, Santa Anita Racetrack is grappling with a season that saw 30 horses die over the last six months. And, L.A. Times writer Nita Lelyveld laments the end of the city's quirky architecture.

Supreme Court Trademark Decision

The Supreme Court ruled today that a Los Angeles streetwear brand named for an F-word soundalike can be trademarked. The ruling struck down a century-old provision in federal law that had banned the registration of trademarks that are scandalous or immoral. Saying the trademark law restriction violated the first amendment, the justices ruled 6 to 3 in favor of the LA company. The brand -- spelled F-U-C-T -- had been denied a trademark because it was the phonetic equivalent of a well-known vulgarity.
