Welcome to this week’s Los Angeles Times News Quiz, where the Olympic torch is still blazing (for a few more days anyway) and the political season is ramping up.

Kennedy Jr.’s Central Park prank, Kamala Harris’ running-mate pick, Olympian Noah Lyles’ photo finish in Paris and Chevron’s decision to leave the Golden State.

We visited more than 200 miles of coastline, picking through hundreds of beaches to name the 50 best from San Diego to Santa Barbara. We prioritized ease of use and special amenities — like volleyball courts, camping, surf conditions and views.
