The head of the state Republican Party, Jessica Millan Patterson, is being challenged at a GOP convention this weekend by longtime conservative activist Steve Frank, who says the state party is attempting to silence conservative voices. Ad“This is California’s version of the national battle for the soul and the future of the Republican Party,” said Thad Kousser, a political science professor at the University of California, San Diego.

It happened this past week: the passing of three American originals ... two phenomenally musical, one deeply controversial. Larry Flynt died Wednesday of heart failure at his Los Angeles home.

A founding member of the Supremes along with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard, Wilson was part of a Motown Records powerhouse. And jazz-rock-fusion pianist Chick Corea died Tuesday at his Florida home.

Porn purveyor Larry Flynt, who built Hustler magazine into an adult entertainment empire while championing First Amendment rights, died Wednesday. Flynt's nephew said Flynt had been in frail health and died of heart failure. He fought battles with drug and alcohol addiction, and his fourth wife died of a heroin overdose. With a fortune estimated at more than $100 million, Flynt spent his later years in the political arena. Flynt's life was depicted in the acclaimed 1996 film "The People vs. Larry Flynt," which brought Oscar nominations for director Milos Forman and Woody Harrelson, who played Flynt.

Anyone who knows the name Larry Flynt is likely to remember the 1978 shooting that left him paralyzed. These are just some of the adjectives that come to mind when describing Larry Flynt and Hustler, the magazine he began publishing 40 years ago. "I treat Hustler the same way as I would if it was a jar of peanut butter or a can of green beans," Flynt replied.
