After 10 years Rushdie came out of hiding and moved to the United States, where he felt safe. Then, on Aug. 12, 2022, at a literary festival in Chautauqua, New York, he was attacked by a knife-wielding assailant. Rushdie was stabbed 15 times and nearly died. He lost his right eye in the attack. He has come to terms with the attempt on his life the only way he knows: by writing about it in his new book. “Knife” comes out this week. Rushdie read several excerpts from “Knife” for 60 Minutes. Why Salman Rushdie wrote “Knife” 00:24 “I would answer violence with art,” says author Salman Rushdie.

AUGUSTA, Ga. —  Scottie Scheffler said all last week that he would pull out of the Masters if his expectant wife went into labor during the tournament. Instead, Scheffler delivered a second green jacket. The world’s No. 1 player was true to form Sunday, remaining steady through “Amen Corner” when the rest of his top competitors got wobbly during that brutal stretch comprising 11th, 12th and 13th holes at Augusta National. It was the second Masters victory for Scheffler since 2022, and this third win in the past four events. Last month, he won both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship, and finished tied for second in the Houston Open. Scheffler said he never allowed himself to relax with the lead. He shot a four-under-par 68 on Sunday, won the Masters at minus-11, beating runner-up Ludvig Aberg by four strokes. “Just like any human would, your mind starts to wander a little bit out there on the golf course,” Scheffler said. “I mean, we’re out there for four or five hours at a time. You got to let your mind wander. I tried to soak

The Los Angeles Lakers knew if they won their regular season finale, they would need one more victory to advance to the first round of the NBA playoffs. LeBron James ensured that L.A. finished as the No. 8 seed. The King finished with a triple-double, putting up 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 17 assists, while Anthony Davis had 30 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Lakers to a 124-108 road win over the New Orleans Pelicans. With the win, L.A. finishes as the No. 8 seed in the NBA’s Western Conference, and as a result, the same two teams will play again in New Orleans on Tuesday in the NBA Play-In Tournament. The winner of that contest will take on the defending champion Denver Nuggets in Round 1 of the playoffs. The Lakers came storming out of the gate and took command from the opening tip, building up a 70-53 lead at halftime. Although James and Davis led the charge, L.A. got some much-needed secondary scoring. Austin Reaves finished with 20 points, while guard D’Angelo Russell chipped in with 19. It was a mismatch

NEW ORLEANS —  Your eyes would tell you quickly. The Lakers, at their very best this season, have received the kind of all-around dominance from LeBron James that made him the best player in the league — a surefire ticket to the end when winning mattered most. But with 39 years on his bones and 21 seasons worth of mileage on his legs, James has had to pick his spots. On the nights when James has been able to play with his foot on the gas on both ends of the court, the Lakers have been as difficult to beat as any team. In the games when age and fatigue keep James glued to the paint, closing out on a shooter with his eyes instead of his effort, they’ve been in trouble. Sunday, in their final game of the regular season and in desperate need of a win, coach Darvin Ham had a feeling which version of James he’d get. “When we see that type of energy, it’s great,” Ham said before the game. “It lets us know — he’s pretty much always locked in, but

Indio —  The 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival wraps its first weekend on Sunday, April 14, with Doja Cat’s return to the desert for her first time headlining the event. Other artists include Victoria Monét, Reneé Rapp, J Balvin and Bebe Rexha. It has been a big weekend of music in the desert.

And that was after big sets from Lana Del Rey and Peso Pluma on Friday. Follow along with The Times’ August Brown, Danielle Dorsey, Vanessa Franko and Mikael Wood, who are on the ground in Indio for the final day of the fest’s first weekend. 1:30 p.m. The Do Lab is often described as the festival within the festival

Kawhi Leonard sat on the Clippers bench Sunday once again dressed in a sweatsuit, right next to Paul George, who was next to James Harden, the team’s three stars not playing in the final regular-season game before Los Angeles heads to the playoffs. The big mystery surrounds Leonard and his status for the Clippers’ first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks that will start next weekend in Los Angeles. He didn’t play against the Rockets on Sunday because of right knee inflammation. He has missed the last eight games with knee issues. The Clippers made no assurances that Leonard will play when the series starts. “He’s not playing today,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said before his team’s 116-105 loss to the Houston Rockets in L.A.’s last regular-season game at Crypto.com Arena before moving to Intuit Dome next season. By the time the playoffs start for the Clippers either Saturday or Sunday, Leonard will not have played in a game in three weeks. Leonard last played against Charlotte on March 31, a game in which he had 37 minutes and had 23 points, five rebounds and four

This time last year, the five members of the K-pop group Le Sserafim were glued to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival livestream on YouTube, watching Blackpink make history as the first Korean headliner. On Saturday afternoon, they were getting glammed up in an artist trailer all their own, hours out from making their own Coachella debut. “Coachella was something I could hardly dream of coming to, even as a spectator,” said Huh Yunjin, of the groundbreaking HYBE girl group. “We’ve watched performances like Blackpink and Billie Eilish online and were like, ‘It’d be so amazing to stand on a stage like this one day.’ ” “It’s a very famous festival in Korea as well,” added Kim Chaewon, through a translator. “For a lot of artists there, it’s a dream opportunity.” This year, that opportunity arrived for a whole new generation of Korean acts. After Blackpink’s fast ascent from newcomer to top-billed act, Coachella is already cultivating its next generation of K-pop and South Korean music more broadly. Genres always wax and wane at the fest, with classic rock and EDM giving way to

Police are seeking potential additional victims of a man and a woman arrested in connection with an ambush robbery near Lincoln Park. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the female suspect, 23-year-old Magdalena Gallegos, lured two victims she met on social media to an apartment in the 2900 block of North Main Street on Tuesday. Once they were inside the apartment, two male suspects — one of whom was allegedly 26-year-old Sergio Carrillo — emerged from hiding and held the victims at gunpoint while demanding their property, police said. One of the victims was struck by a handgun. The suspects were seen driving a 2008 four-door blue Chevrolet Malibu, police said. Carrillo and Gallegos were arrested Wednesday and booked on suspicion of robbery. They were both held on $100,000 bail. The third suspect remains at large. Detectives “strongly believe” the suspect have victimized other people using the exact same scheme. Anyone with information regarding the robberies or who believes they were victimized was urged to contact LAPD Detective Salas at 323-342-8956 or 323-342-8900.
