Obama Becomes the Presumptive Democratic Nominee
After finally securing enough delegates to win the nomination, Barack Obama has declared himself the Democratic presidential nominee. How did he do it, and what should he do about Hillary Clinton and her supporters? Larry hears from Los Angeles Times Washington bureau Chief Doyle McManus, democratic strategist Mark Mellman, and Los Angeles Times political correspondent Mark Barabak.
Obama Vs. McCain
Larry talks with political strategists Edward Espinoza and Duf Sundheim about possible campaign strategies for Senators Barack Obama and John McCain.
The Birth of the National Football League
The December 1958 NFL Championship game between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts is remembered as the greatest in football history. An estimated forty-five million television viewers, the largest number to have ever watched a football game, saw the first sudden-death contest in NFL history. Larry talks with Mark Bowden about his new book, "The Best Game Ever," a portrait of how that single game changed the history of an American sport.
