Country singer Chely Wright and her wife Lauren Blitzer Wright have two new additions to their family: The couple welcomed identical twins on Saturday. The singer, 42, gave birth to their baby boys in New York City, her rep told People. The Wrights named the boys George Samuel and Everett Joseph after their great-grandfathers. The duo was due this summer but were born a little early and are said to be "thriving," the mag said. "We are grateful for all the amazing medical care and the love and support of family and friends," Wright said.

Re "Jeremiah's jeremiad," Opinion, May 1 Rosa Brooks misses the greater point of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.'s attacks. Wright is not simply bitter about slavery and Jim Crow and the Tuskegee experiment. His sermons' message is that man should put his faith in God, not governments. "Governments fail," Wright points out. God does not. God is above governments, and faith in God is rewarded by God, not by governments. To a congregation that must wonder why the same God that has favored white America has allowed so much harm to blacks, Native Americans and Asians, Wright reminds them that governments are the work of man and not God. Governments can do wrong as easily as right, and their victims are not being penalized by God but by the earthly failure of man. Governments and policy, of course, can change, but God is eternal.

Re "Why Wright is wrong," Opinion, March 18 Jonah Goldberg seems riled about the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. and his controversial statements as relating to Barack Obama. AIDS was invented by the government? That's so 1980s. Goldberg states, "Real unity requires real truth-telling and the ability to tell right from wrong." As a white American who bleeds red and is blue from the horrible lies we've been fed, I wouldn't mind seeing Wright spending a few nights in the Lincoln bedroom.

Prosecutors are alleging that state Sen. Rod Wright not only lied about where he lived when he ran for the Legislature in 2008 but also concocted a phony residence in a friend's home during his unsuccessful 2003 bid for the Los Angeles City Council, grand jury transcripts show. The transcripts, unsealed in the wake of Wright's indictment last month on eight felony counts that include perjury and voter fraud, outline the Los Angeles County district attorney's case against the Los Angeles-area Democrat.

A judge on Thursday dismissed two of eight felony counts in the voting fraud case against state Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood). However, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy declined to throw out the entire grand jury indictment, as Wright's attorneys had asked. One of Wright's attorneys, Fredric D. Woocher, said they would appeal the judge's refusal to dismiss the case. Deputy Dist. Atty. Sandi Roth said she would appeal the judge's dismissal of the two counts, which have to do with the two elections Wright voted in after he was in office.

A Los Angeles County grand jury on Thursday unsealed an eight-count felony indictment against state Sen. Roderick Wright (D- Inglewood), accusing him of filing a false declaration of candidacy, voter fraud and perjury beginning in 2007, when he changed his voter registration to run for the Legislature. Wright listed as his residence a home in the district he wanted to represent, but county authorities allege that he did not live there as required by state law. The indictment also alleges that Wright fraudulently voted in five elections in 2008 and 2009.

I have recently read that many Agoura parents have been complaining that their graduating fifth-graders will be attending A.E. Wright Middle School instead of Lindero Canyon Middle School next fall. They seem to have fears of long bus rides and loss of friends. I live in the West Hills neighborhood, and the elementary students here have been redistricted twice in the last eight years. We moved from Round Meadow Elementary to Lupin Hill Elementary and back to Round Meadow Elementary.

Alison Wright got her first camera at age 10, a Kodak Instamatic. Then she learned there was such a thing as a photojournalist, a person who traveled the world taking pictures. So that was that. She had a career - a career that would eventually bring her National Geographic assignments, book contracts, documentary photography prizes and speaking engagements, but only after first bringing dengue fever, typhoid, hepatitis, giardia, dysyntery and, 12 years ago, near death. That's when a logging truck smashed into a bus she was riding through a Laotian jungle.

British director Joe Wrigh t has become a known commodity in Hollywood for coaxing stylish yet substantive literary adaptations such as “Atonement,” “Pride & Prejudice” and “Anna Karenina” onto the screen. His next assignment may likely be another genre of literature: mommy porn. Wright has reportedly emerged as the upstart front-runner to direct the hotly anticipated adaptation of E.L. James bestselling bondage romance “Fifty Shades of Grey” for Universal and Focus Features.

If "House of Cards" were an actual television show, this would be the day after its finale - a time to analyze the cultural impact of the E-ticket D.C. thriller starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, and to painstakingly mine the end of the first season for clues to the second. There would be hashtags and recaps, heated discussions and lists of things to love and hate. Instead: radio silence. After all, fans have already seen the finale weeks, possibly months, ago. Or they haven't.

Nearly three years after he was indicted on voter fraud and perjury charges, state Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood)   is scheduled to stand trial starting July 15. The date was set this week by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy, who also presided over the public corruption trial of former Bell elected officials earlier this year. Wright, who previously served in the state Assembly and was elected last fall to a second term in the Senate, was indicted by a county grand jury on eight felony counts in September 2010.

Paolo Soleri, an Italian-born architect who created a visionary prototype for a new kind of ecologically sensitive city in the remote Arizona desert four decades ago, only to watch the suburban sprawl he detested begin to creep near it in recent years, has died. He was 93. Soleri died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in Paradise Valley, Ariz., according to an official with the architect's foundation . PHOTOS: Paolo Soleri | 1919-2013 A onetime apprentice at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West compound on the edge of Scottsdale, Ariz., Soleri founded his own desert settlement, called Arcosanti, in 1970 at a site roughly 70 miles north of downtown Phoenix.

Re "President Obama doesn't have a 'pastor problem,'" Perspective, April 4 Thanks to Robin Abcarian for her excellent analysis of the sermon preached on Easter Sunday at St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington with President Obama in attendance. She is so right about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former longtime pastor, not being "entirely wrong" in condemning America for its poor treatment of minorities. He wasn't off message; he simply spoke to the American culture that he knew so well.

It was a sad moment for many Republicans during the 2008 presidential contest when Arizona Sen. John McCain refused to let his staff use the fiery left-wing sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Yoking Obama to his Chicago pastor's unforgiving views on American imperialism and racism was so tempting that four years later, a Republican strategist came up with a plan to use the material against Obama "to do exactly what John McCain would not let us do. " The plan, criticized as blatantly racist, was scuttled and the strategist later apologized.
