The Federal Budget And California
We begin this week by examining the $38 billion spending cut package just approved in Washington D.C, and the budget battles still looming on the horizon. Guest host Rachael Myrow spoke with Lisa Mascaro, Congressional Correspondent for the Los Angeles Times.
The Nixon Museum Tells the Unvarnished Truth
For 20 years, the Watergate exhibit at the Richard Nixon Library in Orange County was dismissed by many as a deliberate whitewashing of history. It was a largely sympathetic portrayal of Nixon and the scandal that engulfed his presidency. We take a trip to the revamped exhibit that reexamines the events that led to criminal indictments, and the downfall of a president.
Street Art Goes Indoors
It's everywhere. Graffiti murals on the walls of buildings, stencils on the sidewalks, posters on telephone poles. The street art scene has exploded and this weekend, the first major museum exhibition in the U.S. to celebrate this rebellious form of art opens in Los Angeles. But as we report, some aficionados doubt that's a good thing.
The Civil War, In California?
This week marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. Though the war was between North and South, the West did play a role in the conflict. We visit one civil war era fort in San Francsico with Carl Guarneri, a history professor at St. Mary's College in Moraga.
Student Debaters Speak Their Minds
This weekend in San Diego, hundreds of high school debaters will compete for the state championship. It takes an immense commitment of time and effort to get to that level, but the kids agree it's well worth it. We get an inside peek into the world of debate from Laila McClay, who coaches the St. Vincent de Paul High School debate team in Petaluma.
