La Jolla Murder Hearing
A hearing was held yesterday in San Diego for five La Jolla men charged with the murder of a pro surfer Emery Kauanui, Jr. last year. Prosecutors say the men followed Kauanui home after a disagreement over a spilled drink at a nearby bar. The man died five days after he was found beaten in front of his mother's La Jolla home. Larry talks with Ian O'Roarty, a local surfer who knew Emery Kauanui.
Rediscovering The New World
How much do we really know about America's first settlers? Outside of pilgrims sitting around a Thanksgiving table, many of us don't have a clear picture of the country's European founders. In his book, "A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World," Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Horwitz follows his curiosity beyond Plymouth Rock. Larry talks with Horwitz about his discoveries while trekking through North America for answers.
