Former Mayor Richard Riordan, who died Wednesday, pulled Los Angeles out of the mire of the 1992 riots and the shambles of the Northridge earthquake.

L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso's secret USC deposition offers few answers into a long-secret investigation into alleged abuse by Dr. George Tyndall.

Rick Caruso steps down as head of his development firm and has promised to set up a blind trust if elected L.A. mayor. Critics say that's not enough.

Rick Caruso has outspent his political rivals thanks to a fortune made developing high-end shopping malls and apartments. Here is how he accumulated that wealth.

When the court ruled the rich could spend unlimited amounts of money to get elected, it was wrong.

While other big-name candidates have not yet begun airing television commercials, developer Rick Caruso has used his wealth to blanket the airwaves.

A USC official said there were inaccuracies in data reported by the Rossier School of Education going back at least five years.

The university asked the developer and trustee to guide it through its lowest point in history. Now running for mayor, Rick Caruso is inviting voters to look at how he "cleaned up the messes at USC" and will do the same for the city of L.A.
