Alleged Police Brutality in Inglewood
Larry Mantle discusses the videotaped violent incident between a black teen and a police officer, the fallout for the Inglewood Police Department, and the current media hype.
Greenhouse Gases
Governor Davis is expected to sign a bill that would require car makers to lower CO2 emissions in all cars sold in California by 2009. Opponents of the bill might attempt to put a referendum on the November ballot in an attempt to overturn it. Larry Mantle talks with experts about what impact the landmark Clean Cars Bill may have on carmakers, car buyers, and on global warming itself.

What's the real story? And when should you let smog levels dictate your activities outdoors? Larry Mantle talks with South Coast Air Quality Management District Meteorologist Joe Cassmassi and Dr. John Balmes from the American Lung Association of California.
