While the 2024 Paris Olympics, completed last month, are but a memory, and while actor Tom Cruise did not really bring the Olympic flag to Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass did. She and the flag arrived at LAX on a special Delta flight from Paris on Mon., Aug. 12, accompanied by other officials and scores of Olympic athletes. See Page 1.
