Prop 46 Debate

Prop 51 Debate
(Listen)
The proposal would redirect sales tax revenue generated through the lease and sale of vehicles from the state General Fund to support transportation projects. Proponents have dubbed Prop 51 the “Safe School Bus Trust Fund”, but critics say its a misnomer and that only eight percent of the funds will go to “school buses.” Most of the money, critics argue will go to the construction interests that have financially backed the proposition. Kitty fields the arguments speaking on both sides of Proposition 51. Listen in and make up your own mind. Kitty speaks with Proposition proponent, Eddy Moore, and opponent, Lenny Goldberg.

Continuing our discussion on the politics of humanitarian aid, Kitty welcomes journalist Deborah Scroggins, author of Emma’s War (Pantheon), who uses the life of one idealistic aid worker to symbolize the passion and the futility of colonialist-type aid programs in Africa.

USC Study
(Listen)
One of the most extensive family studies in the world is ongoing right here at USC. This week researchers will release some surprising data including the fact that Gen Xrs-contrary to popular belief-are actually more ambitious and grounded than their Baby Boomer parents 30 years ago. And the researchers have been able to determine that parental divorce had only a small impact on Gen Xrs achievements as did growing up in a home where both parents worked. Kitty speaks with USC professor Tim Biblarz.
Saddam Hussein and War Crimes

Frequent KPCC guest David Scheffer, former ambassador at large for war crimes issues, argues that a key to dealing with Iraq at this critical juncture is to use a potential war crimes prosecution to force Sadam Hussein to agree to weapons inspections. Kitty invites Scheffer back to defend his unique strategy.
Fremont’s Last Expedition at the Huntington
(Listen)
In 1853, explorer John Charles Fremont set off from Kansas City in search of a central route for a transcontinental railroad across the Rocky Mountains, but harsh conditions ended the expedition after only four months. Although the 300 daguerreotypes documenting the expedition made it home safely they were later tragically destroyed in a fire. Modern Photographer Robert Schlayer in 1994 decided to retrace Fremont’s path and re-document his journey with a collection of 100 daguerreotypes now on display at the Huntington. Schlayer joins Kitty along with the exhibition’s curator, Jennifer Watts.
Sights Once Seen: Daguerreotyping Fremont’s Last Expedition Through the Rockies is on view at the Huntington Library’s Exhibition Hall through November 30th. For more information, call The Huntington at 626-405-2100 or log on to www.huntington.org.
