On Wednesday, Oregon beat Wisconsin to win the Rose Bowl with a roster including [more than 30 players who grew up within 70 miles of Pasadena](. The real losers? USC and UCLA, writes columnist Bill Plaschke. The power of a logo.

Black drivers face more police stops. Black drivers in some of California’s largest cities are [stopped and searched by police at higher rates]( than white and Latino motorists, according to a new state analysis. The findings appear to largely confirm what independent researchers and black drivers have long discussed: “Driving while black” means a higher risk of a law enforcement encounter. A solid snowpack.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, scheduled for April 10-12 and 17-19, [announced its full lineup]( Thursday night.

Eliot to Emily Hale, the object of Eliot’s affection for decades, and a woman regarded by many to be a “muse” to him. With the release of the letters came a statement from Eliot, directed at future readers of his very personal words. The statement itself is worth reading in full — for both the revelatory slice of autobiography it offers and the confirmation that even the greatest poets of the English language can be fantastically petty on the subject of unconsummated love. (And I would be remiss if I didn’t also note the great headline the statement inspired in the British daily the Telegraph, which read, in full, [“T.S.
