At 32, Ronan Farrow has been near the limelight his entire life. The journalist with a Yale law degree is officially the son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow. Farrow's detailed investigative report into the Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct allegations drew worldwide attention. Why does it matter?

The mountain lion known as P-41 was found dead yesterday on the edge of the Verdugo Mountains, near the Shadow Hills neighborhood.
