California Budget Crisis
Larry Mantle discusses California's budget crisis stand-off. Republicans are in an antitax position, and Democrats will not cut more deeply into social programs. Is there any relief in sight? Larry talks with Jean Ross, Executive Director of the California Budget Project, and Mike Montgomery, Capital bureau chief, at KXJZ News.
Andy Warhol
In 1987, art dealer Richard Polsky decided to pursue an Andy Warhol. It took him twelve years to purchase a self-portrait of Warhol, called "Fright Wig." Polsky kept copious notes on the process of buying his Warhol. What emerged is a insider chronicle of the art world--the eccentricities of the people, the business, and the artists themselves. Richard Polsky joins host Larry Mantle to discuss his new book, I Bought Andy Warhol.
College Tuition
Does saving for your child's college tuition make you break out in hives? It doesn't have to, according to Kathy Kristof, syndicated financial columnist at the LA Times. Her new book, Taming the Tuition Tiger: Getting the Money to Graduate--With 529 Plans, Scholarships, Financial Aid, and More, examines many ways to find money for tuition, as well as some of the strategies on how to save for your child's college education. The bottom line: it shouldn't bankrupt you, and with some planning, there's no need to stress. Kathy Kristof joins host Larry Mantle to talk about taming the tuition tiger.
