The bones discovered in a canister at Lake Mead [lac artificiel de l’ouest des États-Unis, non loin de Las Vegas] earlier this month horrified and captivated two distinct groups of people who usually have nothing in common: underworld historians and climatologists.
Less than a week after the unidentified body was found in a canister, paddleboarders discovered more bones at Lake Mead Recreation Area, Nevada [le lac Mead est situé à cheval sur les États du Nevada et de l’Arizona]. The public authorities are not surprised to see these bodies reappear, at a time when the lake is shrinking under the effect of the prolonged drought which is affecting the entire west of the country.

It wasn’t until the 1940s that it became Los Angeles’ leading daily. Owned by Californians from the outset, the title was bought in 2000 by the Tribune group – owner of the Chicago Tribune. In 2018, the Los Angeles Times is sold to a biotech billionaire, Patrick Soon-Shiong.
After years of declining sales, the waltz of editorial directors and cuts in the workforce, this former surgeon intends to relaunch the title and make it take the digital bandwagon.
