Analysis of the Budget
Larry Mantle talks with California's legislative analyst, Elizabeth Hill, about her financial analysis of the Governor's proposed 2004-2005 budget. Larry also speaks with H.D. Palmer, Deputy Director of External Affairs for the Department of Finance.
King/Drew Medical Center
The King/Drew Medical Center serves residents of the Watts, Willowbrook and Compton areas of Los Angeles. Formed after the Watts Riots of 1965, King/Drew is not only a hospital, but also a university with a residency program whose original mission was to train African-American doctors. Recently, LA County took over management of King Drew hospital after three suspicious patient deaths, and two of the medical school's doctor training programs have been ordered shut down. Joining host Larry Mantle to discuss the King-Drew Medical Center is Charlie Ornstein, Staff Writer for the LA Times, Dr. Robert Tranquada, former Dean and Emeritus professor of medicine at USC, and Dr. Harry Douglas III DPA, Interim President of the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science.
Religion in the 2004 Election
Host Larry Mantle discusses how religion will play out in the 2004 elections. What is the face of the religious right? Is there a religious left? Joining Larry is Dr. Jack Miles, senior advisor to the president of the J. Paul Getty Trust, author, essayist and MacArthur Fellow, and Dr. Richard Mouw, President of Fuller Seminary. They analyze the Catholic, black, and Hispanic votes, as well as how candidates use religion to define themselves and their campaigns.
