Suicide Bombing in Jerusalem
Host Larry Mantle speaks with Matt Rees, Jerusalem Bureau Chief for Time magazine.
Adult Entertainment Ordinance
The Public Safety Committee wants to curb prostitution in strip clubs and has introduced an ordinance to ban lap dancing and entertainment in "VIP" rooms. The ordinance would require at least six feet of space between customers and strippers and would ban any physical contact. Mayor James Hahn and the City Council have yet to vote on this matter. Attorney Roger Jon Diamond joins host Larry Mantle to discuss the proposed ordinance.
Chris Reed: Orange County News
Chris Reed, op-ed column editor for the Orange County Register joins Larry to discuss the latest Orange County news.
Michael Lewis' new book, Moneyball
Larry Mantle talks with best-selling author Michael Lewis about his new book Moneyball: The Art Of Winning An Unfair Game (W.W. Norton). It is a behind-the-scenes look at the business, practice, and personalities of baseball. Lewis highlights the Oakland A's as a microcosm of a new kind of baseball knowledge, a rethinking of the way the game is perceived and played. And, Lewis argues that the driving force behind this revolution is an executive widely admired as baseball's newest genius: A's general manager Billy Beane.
