I'm not saying you shouldn't read the whole paper every day. You should. The whole thing. Twice. But if you only have 90 seconds, here's a quick highlights reel:

- Ramen in Mexico: Hot seller! Ah, syncretism.

- It turns out insincere flattery is rampant in Hollywood. By the way, I love all of you!

- The most-emailed-stories list lends credence to my new Big Theory: Real estate has replaced show business as the center of the Los Angeles psyche.

- Lakers blog. Off to a strong start. I still don't understand a word of it. And the Supreme Court blog got Cass Sunstein! Way to go!
