I’m Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today.

TOP STORIES

Mr. Trump Goes to Washington

Donald Trump will try to work his magic on Capitol Hill today, meeting with GOP leaders to see if they can find some common ground. Though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy have cautiously stepped onto the Trump train, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan has refused to endorse the billionaire. We’ll be keeping an eye on everything here.

Oops, He Did It Again

Twice, the chairman of the California Coastal Commission met with developers of the Newport Banning Ranch project — which calls for homes, retail space and a hotel to be built on the largest undeveloped coastal parcel in Southern California. Both times, he didn’t properly disclose the private meetings. Now, he’s asked the commission’s attorney to decide if he should recuse himself from voting on the project. Here’s how it happened.

Mind the Achievement Gap

The LAUSD’s Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School in Boyle Heights and the private Chadwick School on the Palos Verdes Peninsula are 30 miles — and worlds — apart. Case in point: The former has nearly 400 seniors and one full-time college counselor, while the latter has 86 seniors and four advisors. Take a look at the disparate challenges and choices facing today’s college applicants through the eyes of a student at each school.

UCLA’s Points for Artistic Merit

The art program at UCLA is ranked as one of the nation’s best and has famous faculty such as Lari Pittman, Barbara Kruger and Catherine Opie, to name only three. But its facilities have been lacking. Today the school will unveil plans for a $31-million studio complex, with major funding from art dealer Margo Leavin. Here’s why Times art critic Christopher Knight says that, while museums and galleries get the limelight, art schools are a vital source of cultural renewal in L.A.

You Must Be This Small to Ride

For theme park “guests of larger size,” it’s become known as “the walk of shame”: getting kicked off a ride for being too big or tall. But how big is too big? For one park operator, a man taller than 6 foot 2 or 225 pounds might get the boot. Another ride could have a 6-foot-6-inch height maximum. As it turns out, there are no industry standards.

ONLY IN L.A.

When Sammy Davis Jr. died nearly 16 years ago, he left behind quite the gun collection. One piece, which he called his “Gary Cooper gun,” he bequeathed to Clint Eastwood. Some weapons went to the Autry Museum, and some sold at an auction in San Francisco. And now one, a 1911 .45-caliber pistol, has turned up during a weekend gun buyback program in L.A. in exchange for grocery gift cards. To buy sweets in memory of the Candy Man?
