The City Of Los Angeles Threatens To Sue The State Over The Vehicle License Fee Cut
Larry talks with James Hahn, Mayor of Los Angeles, and Raphael Sonenshein, professor of Political Science at Cal State Fullerton about the vehicle license fee money.
Edie And Lew Wasserman And Their Entertainment Empire
Lew Wasserman has many titles to his name: agent to legendary stars, pioneering TV producer, Universal Studios mogul, Labor boss, mob confidant and millionaire. Not just the wife of Hollywood's most powerful man, Edie Wasserman was the originator of the Hollywood wives club. Feared and respected, she held court in her Beverly Hills colonial while Lew, ten blocks away, spent his day commanding MCA. Larry Mantle talks with Kathleen Sharp, the author of Mr. And Mrs. Hollywood, a new book about the quintessential Hollywood power couple.
