TOP STORIES:

EXCHANGE-CERRO GRANDE FIRE

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — A wall of flames snaking north along the edge of Los Alamos ignited thickets and set houses ablaze in an inferno that would sear itself into the community’s collective memory. May 10, 2000, was the day the wind-driven Cerro Grande Fire roared into Los Alamos, destroying 235 homes and displacing more than 400 people. Homes would still be burning five days later, though no one would perish. By Scott Wyland. SENT: 1,950 words, photos.

FBC--VIRUS OUTBREAK-COLLEGE FOOTBALL

SAN DIEGO — The California State University system’s plan for a mostly virtual fall semester doesn’t necessarily close the door on football at the three schools that play in the far-flung Mountain West Conference.

CAR--NASCAR-DARLINGTON

DARLINGTON, S.C. — NASCAR becomes one of the first major sporting leagues to resume competition with a race at Darlington Raceway.

The pandemic afforded him extra time to heal, and Newman has missed only three Cup races. By Auto Racing Writer Jenna Fryer. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos.
