Charges Against Kobe Bryant Dismissed
Rape charges were dropped yesterday against Kobe Bryant, just a day before his trial was scheduled to begin, because the alleged rape victim refused to go forward with the prosecution of the case against Bryant. Larry talks about the case with law experts Robert Pugsley, Professor of Law at Southwestern University School of Law, and Michelle Anderson, Professor of Law at Villanova University School of Law.

Joining Larry also is Arnold Steinberg, Political Consultant, and Raphael J. Sonenshein, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science California State University, Fullerton.
Orange County Journalist “Roundtable"
Larry Mantle talks with Orange County journalists Chris Reed, Orange County Register op-ed column editor, Jean Pasco, Los Angeles Times staff writer and Gustavo Arellano, Staff Writer for the OC Weekly, about the latest news events and developments in Orange County.
Interrogation of Al-Qaeda Prisoners
There is no more serious issue in the United States today than the methods through which our military can prevent another September 11th. The front line of the war on terror has become the interrogation room, where prisoners are pressed for reliable information - the big plots and the small details that, when pieced together, could form our strongest defense. Larry talks with Greg Miller and Chris Mackey, co-authors of a book called The Interrogators: Inside the Secret War Against Al Qaeda (Little, Brown & Co). Miller was the only journalist given access to US Army interrogators, learning about exactly what goes on behind the closed prison doors, where face-to-face psychological warfare is waged.

Stephen Tabor, Curator of Early Printed Books at the Huntington, and Lori Anne Ferrell, Professor of Reformation and Early Modern Studies at Claremont School of Theology, join Host Larry Mantle to talk about the Huntington’s new exhibit “The Bible and the People.” It features an array of Bibles, from the oldest Bible, the Gundulf Bible, to the most recent Bibles. The main theme of the exhibit explores the interrelationship between the Bible and society, including access to the Bible, and the political and social significance of the Bible.
