In addition to outstanding articles from regular contributors, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, James Lileks, and others, we are grateful to Dennis Prager for distilling a remarkable and speech he gave at the Education Alliance annual dinner into an article titled The Ten Nos of Education. In this issue, we interview KABC's self-proclaimed "Sage from South Central",  Larry Elder. You will also enjoy our profile of long-time OC resident and current Ambassador to the United Nations Food Program in Rome, Gaddi Vasquez. Plus, Jerry Slusiewicz interviews Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle and famed sports agent Leigh Steinberg about the possibility of bringing the NFL to Orange County.
