Network Security Breach at UCLA
On Tuesday, the University of California, Los Angeles alerted about 800,000 current and former students, faculty and staff that their personal information had been exposed after a security breach to the campus computer system. Chancellor Norman Abrams has sent a letter to affected individuals stating there is no evidence that any data has been misused. Larry discusses the implications of such an intrusion with Rodney Peterson, Security Taskforce Coordinator for Educause and with Evan Carter of Setec Security, a computer security firm in Los Angeles specializing in computer forensics.
Immigrant Unionization and Labor Revitalization In Los Angeles
Larry Mantle talks with UCLA Sociology Professor Ruth Milkman about her new book L.A. Labor: Immigrant Workers and The Future of the U.S. Labor Movement (published by the Russell Sage Foundation).
President Jimmy Carter
President Carter has remained deeply involved in Middle East affairs since leaving the White House in 1981. He has stayed in touch with major players from all sides in the conflict and has made numerous trips to the Holy Land, most recently as an observer in the Palestinian elections of 2005 and 2006. In his new book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, President Carter shares his intimate knowledge of the region and traces the ups and downs of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, beginning with his presidency and the historic peace accord he negotiated between Israel and Egypt. He prescribes steps that must be taken for the two states to share the Holy Land without a system of apartheid or the constant fear of terrorism.
