Oaklander Rachel Howard On "This American Life" November 2nd

You may have heard of Rachel Howard as she's the dance critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. But Rachel's also an accomplished book author.

Her work "The Lost Night: A Daughter's Search for the Truth of Her Father's Murder" is about the murder of her father Stan Howard and how she's coped with not just the loss of her father, but the fact that the killer was never found.

On November 2nd, Rachel shares her story with Ira Glass on his show, "This American Life." Please tune in. The stations that have the show are listed here:

At Rally, Hillary Clinton Vounteer Works To Hide Female Anti-War Protester

The start of this video's a tad disturbing as the lady who's protesting is so far away from Senator Clinton, it wasn't worth the effort of this Hillary volunteer in the video. The Clinton camp at work, controlling the crowd. The Obama Rally didn't have such problem volunteers. I mean this is an elderly woman!
